Equinox Guard Hoodie Reviews

Equinox Guard Hoody - waterfowl timber

Lightweight and comfortable. The long zip on chest and integrated hood and face mask are a great features. I put my guard gloves in the chest pocket to keep everything together. I use permethrin spray on all my cloths, having this "built-in" with bite protection fabric is even better. I haven't been able to use or see how well the insect shield performs due to the weather. I'm ready to use the system for spring turkey. The waterfowl timber pattern looks great and will work for more that just waterfowl hunting.

Great quality!

Feels great and keeps the bugs off!

Best Piece of Sitka

This may be the best piece of hunting gear Sitka has made. The bite resistant breathable fabric and built in repellent with wash resistance makes the early season gear unmatched on the market. The fabric is also much more stretchy than the other early season pieces I have like the "ESW". It makes it into my packing list for hikes everywhere I go around the world with no need to worry about packing sprays that take ups space and can leak in a checked bag. We all have a person in our lives who says "mosquitos are just attracted to me!". This is the perfect gift for them too thanks to the solid colors. Hear the buzz of the bugs without the bite.

As stated

glad i got

Good

Boyfriend loved the texture and fit

Another quality Sitka Product

fits true to size. comfortable with the right balance of density and light weight feel. great for early alaska or buggy woods in a stand.

Extreme Comfort

This hoody is my new favorite warm weather hoody. The material is extremely stretchy and soft, and a very comfortable cover up from sun and any buggy areas.

Excellent Quality as usual

I have never purchased a Sitka product that was not exceptional.

Great buy

I have three of these hoodies. I wore it during archery deer season and it felt great after five days of wear. I wear it to the gym and when I am doing yard work. Great product!

Good fit for big fat guy.

Haven't been able to use it with mosquitoes around but the general fit is good for a serious dad bod.

Love this and it fits

Love this and it fits perfectly!

Perfect spring and early season top

Pair this with the Equinox pants and you’ll no longer have to worry about ticks, mosquitoes or chiggers. I don’t like dousing myself in Deet and since getting the equinox I don’t use it at all. If I find myself being bothered by mosquitoes I just throw the hood and face mask up. I’m 195lbs, 5’ 10” and wear a large which fits nice.

Great Concept, Poor Construction

I ordered this equinox guard hoody while it was on sale. I was skeptical of the Insect Shield concept, but figured I get ahold of one in preparation for spring bear and turkey season. I was so disappointed in the construction and materials chosen for the garment (feels like cheap stretchy knock-off Under Armour), that I just packed it back up to return it after trying it on. If Sitka could put the Insect Shield Technology into a Core Light hoody, then we would be onto something. The material for the Equinox Guard is just way below my expectations.

Sitka

Great Quality stuff!

Great early season hoody

Absolutely love this for early season. Wore it this year in warm conditions and it was the perfect weight to be in camo with zero bulk. I was amazed at how well it worked keeping the mosquitoes off me. I would put my hood up and they would just disappear. Very satisfied.

I’ve made it most of

I’ve made it most of my season here in Oklahoma as a guide. This hoodie matched with my Kelvin vest has been my go to!

Rainy Days!

Bought this to use as rain gear for hunts as well as out on the boat. Great quality as is expected. Recommend getting one size bigger.

Well thought out garment. Time

Well thought out garment. Time will tell how it works against mosquitos. I’m 6’1” 200lbs and the large fit good. Not to tight or too loose.

Equinox Hoody

Awesome early season hoody. This piece keeps me cool and a very warm early season elk hunt and worked very good keeping the bugs off me.

Great warm weather sun hoodie or base layer

Very light and stretchy and permethrin works. Runs large so I sized down to use as a base layer.

Great hoody. Did run a little bigger than the rest of my Sitka clothes

Every day wear

Fantastic fit very comfortable and will definitely keep you warm

Best early season gear

I have used this several times. In Louisiana early season this is the perfect lightweight, insect repellent top.

Early bow season MUST!

Great project. Cool and keeps mosquitoes at bay. Worked great early to mid bow season in Georgia. Also is a great base layer when it’s chilly.

Great Early Season

Great in early season. Keeps the bugs away and isn’t to hot.

Sitka

Sweet

Excellent, with one down side

Down here in FL, I typically only need this top as a stand alone through the year. I wear this shirt every hunt. I only need a jacket a few weeks during a deer season. This shirt is a must because of the mosquitoes, I’ve truly noticed a better experience when being in an area with a lot of them. The built in repellent does seem to help but i think the best part of the hoody is the fabric. Mosquitoes do have a hard time biting through it. Now the bad…this thing gets wet with sweat very quickly. Because of the protection the fabric gives. It is a very hot shirt when there is no wind. So I have to wash it constantly. I love mine and will wear it for the foreseeable future , but man it doesn’t breathe and it stays wet all day.

Love it

You will be happy if you buy this
