Light weight. Good for Florida just about all year round until we get a cold front or 2.

Equinox is Good to Go

Bought the first one, went to the fields that swarm with mosquitoes and other flying insects that bite, while wearing the new hoodie. Came home and only could find two bites, far less from prior trips where I was one bitten specimen. Worked so well I bought two more, now getting them for the family.

It Works

Just wanted to recognize how great this product is and acknowledge the fact that you finally made a product for us southern hunters. I have worn this night hog hunting in south Mississippi, deep in the bug infested back bayous and it kept me completely bite free. I wore the hoodie, pants, hat and gloves with hood up and face cover in place. Even with the high temps and extreme humidity I did not get over heated while sitting or trailing my prey. Can't thank you enough. Now, if you can just make a tough, lightweight pant and top for pushing through the briars on those hot spring mornings, you'd really make my day. Truly enjoy the Sitka Gear, well made, well fitting and worth the price 'cause it works!

Great weather performance, poor bug guard.

Not sure if the mosquitos are just relentless in Virginia or what, but they were just biting right through this. Heat wise, its fantastic for warmer hunts and super comfortable, but I'm disappointed in the functionality as it pertains to mosquito protection.

With this top on, I feel like I’m not wearing anything. The added bug and critter protection is a great addition. It does run big. I normally wear a XL, but I ended with a Large. Great addition to any hunting system.

Good fit, comfortable, well-designed

Very thin material so should be great in warmer weather hunts. Covers a lot of the hands nicely, if thumbs put through the holes, but comfortable if not. Face mask and hood comfortable and covers all but eyes when up. Haven't hunted in it, but impressed with fit and comfort.

I got this hoodie as a top layer and I love it. It does run big I should have bought a large instead of an XL but none the less, still a quality item. I'm excited about the new pattern that just came out and looking forward to trying it out this winter.

Great product but seems to run big

This is a great product. I tend to run warm and this shirt breathes exceptionally well. I recently used during a September elk hunt with temperatures in the 70's and 80's - it was comfortable even while wearing the hood and face mask. My only issue is that it seems to run big. I have several other XL Sitka shirts, but this one feel very baggy.

Comfortable and well designed

Perfect for every day use or for out in the field. Wore it for a Wyoming antelope hunt in late September and was great for the cool morning and hot evenings. and the build in mask is great for extra cover or wind protection, but doesn't get in the way when not in use. Recommend XL over L for lengthier people.

Wish it had two slash pockets in the front

A great piece of gear for early season. In light, early season clothing "logistics space" is limited, and at a premium. Two more front "hand warmer" type pockets for elk diaphragm calls, etc... would really help.

Great product

The Equinox products are the same fit and quality, with no apparent odor or other negative effect of the insecticide treatment. The built in gators in the pants are not even noticeable, but provide an effective physical barrier to ticks climbing up from the ground and grass. A great product!

Equinox guard hoodie optifade

I really love this hoody. It’s absolutely amazing! I did however, enter a small pond and got absolutely destroyed by mosquitoes. I had over 20 bites on me. I applied some feet and it helped. Normally where there isn’t many mosquitoes around, they don’t bother me. I still give this a high rating as it’s super durable. No rips or tears from getting caught on branches.
