Equinox Guard Hoodie Reviews

Hoody

This is a great early season hoody. You will want to get a size smaller than normal. Great fit and deal. I will own several colors.

Great fit and very comfortable!

Awesome

Got this for hunting on the Texas coast. Wearing alone during teal and early season it is great. When it’s colder I use it as base layer. Hoodie and face mask is awesome too. It was mosquito proof until washed a couple times. Super thin and lightweight, basically a performance fishing shirt with extras.

East Texas Approved!

I needed a very light, long sleeved, hoody that gave me a barrier to mosquitoes. This has served me well from October to December in East Texas. The hood and face mask are a blessing for when those little buggers try to get your ears. So far, no additional bug repellents or devices needed.

Incredible fit and feel

This hoody is amazing and just what I needed in a little cooler temperatures. I can’t express my thankfulness for Sitka’s camo and gear. It’s my go to! Pick up this item today and you’ll love it. Wear it hunting or around the house and out and about.

Great Coverup

I have three of these hoodies: two regular and one with Insect Shield. I use them to add the kind of camo I need. Some blinds work best with black outerwear whereas treestands require real camo. I buy them a size larger than I would normally wear so I can slip them on over a light jacket. They're stretchy so this works quite well. Love the built-in face mask.

Great for early season Duck or spring Turkey hunting

Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a hooded early season piece. In the southern region of the country it’s necessary to have bug control. Mosquitos were flying around me all day, but I didn’t have a single bit on me while wearing this piece. It was cool and light weight, exactly what I was looking for.

Guard Hoody for Early September Teal Hunting

Here in Louisiana during Early Teal hunting in September the mosquitoes can be quite unbearable and as well throughout some of the hunting season while the weather pattern is unpredictable as well with warm weather. This year buying the Equinox Gaurd hoody was a must and the mosquitoes barely got to me and so I recommended and bought some for my family and friends and everyone is in love. This little piece of gear can make a hunt so much better and so it has so far this year. Thank you Sitka.

Early Season Must!

This is an absolute must during early season whitetail. It covers you completely but isnt heavy enough to make you hot. Ive worn it as a standalone and watched mosquitos land on my arms only to immediately fly away. Ive also worn it as a very light base layer during the first few cool mornings and its been great.

Early Season Winner

Doing some early season bow hunting in Central KS this week and it is hot and buggy. With a previous warm weather hoody, I was getting bit through the hood on my head - if I had hair, it wouldn’t be fair. Zero bites on my bald during a sit near a wet low area where lots of biting bugs were present. Didn’t sweat either and it was 85 degrees. Awesome hoody. Great product as usual, Sitka. 5’8” 180 - large

Worth the Money

Purchased this hoping it would keep the ticks off as I’ve had Lyme disease multiple times. With warm winters the last few year the ticks have been back and this kept them off. I didn’t have one Rick on me during Turkey season this year while I am normally pulling off multiple per trip. I paired it with the jet stream vest on the cool mornings to get the extra heat until the sun was up and beating down. Keeps the sun off of you nicely as well.

My favorite hot weather shirt

Great sun protection and Insect protectionin. It almost feels like you're not wearing a shirt.

Equinox Guard Hoody

Wore the hoodie and pants during spring bear season in Alaska. Mosquitoes are huge here and swarm you by the thousands the second you get out of the truck. My buddy got ate up by them in the stand, I didn’t get a single bite. Will order another set in solid colors for all around wear.

Industry Professional

I just returned from a two week backpacking trip into remote areas of Denali National Park and Preserve mapping the occurrences of dinosaur tracks. Snow patches are still present and it has been wetter than normal for this time of year. This moisture has resulted in an unusually high number of mosquitoes. I wore this shirt every day for two weeks. It kept the mosquitoes off completely. It wore like iron not snagging on the brush. The hood kept my neck and ears from sun burning and kept the mosquitoes off those areas. This shirt is the real deal, July in the Interior of Alaska field tested!

Awesome shirts

I wear these to hunt in as well as wear them to work. Working outside in fields and forests all summer is problematic with ticks and chiggers. These shirts fend off anything that bites and keeps me from getting Lyme disease. Pair it with the guard pants and you’re protected.

Sitka doesn't even know it,

Sitka doesn't even know it, but they just made the best fly fishing hoodie the market has to offer, I am a wade fly fisher and fish in the Adirondacks. Black flies are crazy stupid. This hoodie does extremely well keeping the flies away, has great sun protection, and wick moisture really well keeping you cool when you are in your waders. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. This is also my go to piece for turkey season.

Great fit, comfortable, cool, and

Great fit, comfortable, cool, and most importantly NO TICKS on my turkey hunt to Kansas!!

I bought this for spring

I bought this for spring turkey season in Missouri, like all the rest of Sitka gear it's the best in the field, it always lives up to the advertising and descriptions. Tough as nails. I'm a size XXX and everything has fit perfect except for the Equinox Guard Hoody, this XXX should actually be a 4X, it's way too big on me. Not sure what happened on the fit on this one. Other than that... products are the best on the market. I'm a huge fan!!

The equinox guard is super

The equinox guard is super light for spring and summer. I hunt chigger infested woods and have had zero chigger bites. I’ve only been on 2 hunts with it so far but can’t wait to go again. Thanks Sitka

WOW!!!! The best feeling thin

WOW!!!! The best feeling thin summer long sleeve I have ever had. I will be buying more of these. Make more colors please XL fits perfect 235LBS 5'11

I have used this hoody

I have used this hoody for two years while hunting turkeys and mushrooms in the spring. I have not found a tick on me! The built in hood and mask are great plus.

It’s awesome at keeping mosquitos

It’s awesome at keeping mosquitos at bay. The built in face mask is awesome for turkey hunting.

This was my 1st time

This was my 1st time hunting, let alone Turkey hunting. I heard how nightmarish the bugs could be so I went with the insect guard gear. It was light enough to not be sweating in the midday sun & kept what bugs I did encounter off of me. Not a mosquito or tick bit me. I would definitely recommend making this purchase for anywhere you may encounter bugs and warm/hot hunts.
