Equinox Guard Hoodie Reviews

Excellent summer shirt

I fished for a week in Utah in July. Wore the Equinox hoodie everyday. Was comfortable in 90’ temps and full sun all day on the river. No sunburn and was comfortable all day.

Equinox Hoodie

Super light weight but provides just enough warmth and wind protection.

Good jacket, but prefer the old mountain jacket

Overall, I really like the seal in the stretch of this new jacket, although I really wish they would not have done away with the old one. This jacket is a little bit more stretchy and thinner and if you’re only wearing it alone without a backpack, which I’m assuming most people are going to be doing a lot of the time. The wind goes right through that back panel. I understand those meant for breathability with a backpack on, but then when you take it off, your back is exposed. I think it’s just trying to do too many things with one jacket. With that said, I do really like my jacket. Just wanted to give an honest review.

Early Season!

this is the greatest early season hoodie! Breathable and insect resistant. Fantastic piece!

New Material

Nice hoodie with a new silkier wicking material. Runs big, I ordered a 2XL and it fits like a 3XL long. I am going to return for an XL.

Layering in East TN

This has made a great outer layer on the warmer spring turkey hunts. In the morning I will wear a traverse jacket with this and a core SS TShirt. I was torn between subalpine camo or the new optifade but really glad I went with Alpine for as well as it blends into the areas I hunt.

Perfect! Especially like the combo,

Equinox Guard Hoodie

An absolute must for any Turkey Hunter!!

Kept the bugs off

Had good luck running my whole equinox set on opening day for turkey. The equinox set plus a little deet kept me totally free from bugs on the hike in through brush and while sitting. As a bonus this set has been really tough against briars too.

Great for spring

Bought the hoodie for turkey hunting. Love the included face mask. Even better is the insect repellent garment. Works like a charm. No bugs will bother you while hunting. Comfortable and lightweight.

Equinox Guard Hoodie

Perfect fit,very comfortable and well made. The bugs have just started to emerge in my area and I expect this hoodie will help keep them at bay.

Be the blind

Very comfortable and size true to labeling. It’s fantastic for total concealment in your hunting blind.

My go to hoodie

Fits very well, layers nicely. Bought in black for ground blind hunting and has been perfect for early turkey season mornings. Just warm enough, but very lightweight

Hoodie

Love this hoodie. Worn already multiple times in the woods in Florida. Ticks and no see ums are already out here and this makes it easy. No bites at all. I use permethrin on my socks and pants but needed something light weight with long sleeves. 5’11 190 and the large fits perfectly.

Comfortable

Super light weight can’t wait to wear it in May for turkeys! Bought an XL fits like a 2XL mine runs big

Superb protection

The EG hoodie arrived in time for Youth turkey season. The weather was unseasonably warm and the mosquitoes were out. I was able to call in a turkey for my son without fighting mosquitoes.

Turkey gear.

This was perfect for my successful west Texas turkey hunt. Kept the bugs off and kept me cool. I would highly recommend this product.

Equinox Guard System

Purchased for spring turkey season in Kentucky. The built in features of the guard series are excellent for time of year.

Sitka Equinox Guard Hoodie – Lightweight, Purpose-Built, and Reliable

Picked up the Sitka Equinox Guard Hoodie with early-season scouting and hunts in mind—especially for those warm, buggy days we all love to hate here in Pennsylvania. After getting hands-on with it, I can say this: it’s one of those pieces that’s clearly built by people who actually hunt. Right out of the box, the fit is athletic but not tight. I went with my usual size, and it’s spot-on. There’s room to move, layer lightly if needed, and it doesn’t bunch up when drawing a bow or wearing a harness. The material is lightweight, breathable, and surprisingly tough for how thin it feels. This thing really shines when you’re dealing with mosquitoes and ticks. The integrated insect shield is something I didn’t know I needed until I had it. You still stay cool, but you get that added protection that makes a long sit or walk through tall grass way more comfortable—and a lot less itchy. The hood fits well and actually stays in place when you move. Thumb loops keep your sleeves where they’re supposed to be, and the built-in face cover is clutch for quick concealment without overheating. This hoodie is purpose-built for early season hunts, plain and simple. Whether you’re hanging cameras, glassing from a ridge, or setting up in the hardwoods, it’s one of those pieces you forget you're wearing—but you’ll notice if it’s not with you. At this point, I’ve come to expect this level of quality from Sitka. They don’t just crank out gear—they design stuff that solves problems. No gimmicks, just well-thought-out clothing that helps you stay comfortable and focused. You can’t really go wrong with Sitka—and the Equinox Guard Hoodie is another example of that.

The equinox guard hoodie is

The equinox guard hoodie is an excellent piece of hunting clothing. It’s great for warm weather hunting and it also works well as a base layer for colder weather. But its best feature is its insect repellant feature, which works great. As far as sizing, I am between a medium and large size and the medium works well for me.
