Equinox Guard Hoodie Reviews

Equinox Guard Hoody

Great hoody, runs large, much more durable than the lightweight hoody.

I love my SITKA

Hello, I have purchased lots of Sitka over the last 10 years and every purchase has stood the time and still gets used in hunting season. From guiding in Colorado for elk and mule deer to Pennsylvania in my quests for white tails and spring gobblers, all of my clothing gear continues to work like new. Thanks for great GEAR and CLOTHING!!!

Great warm weather addition

This fits as expected and works great to reduce bugs while hunting late spring turkeys or early season whitetails.

Love the lightweight fit. Does

Love the lightweight fit. Does seem to run a little large I think. Excellent product though.

Great for early season bowhunting.

Great for early season bowhunting. The hood with a mask and zippered pocket with the insect protection too you can't do much better than that if only the material was a little stronger, I already have a few rips from getting caught on briars.

Equinox Gaurd

Fit is on par with other sitka tops. The hoody is light and breathable but tough enough to do the job. Tried this for the first time this fall (early season whitetail). Worked great. Did not get bit once.

Worked as advertised

Very comfortable and lightweight. Exactly what I needed for my early Michigan Bear hunt, where the mosquitoes would normally carry you away. The Equinox guard hoody and pants and my Thermacell kept every bug away.

Favorite

Just like the corelightweight hoodie but has insect shied. The cut and fit is great, facemask is ultra lightweight and breathable unlike some other brands.

Perfect for warm weather or light base layer

This is my second Equinox Guard Hoody. It's great at keeping the sun off and keeps the insects at bay - 2 big pluses during warmer hunts here in AZ. Also, works well as a light base layer. I definitely recommend this product.

Great gear

Fit perfect to match up to the pants. Light weight for hot days and easily to layer over for the cold mornings

New favorite base.

It is light enough to wear early season. I also find myself going for it later in the season as a base. I like the fit better than the core stuff.

Love this hoody. Fits perfect

Equinox hoodie

The hoodie fits great looks great and it’s great quality.

Great warm weather hoody

I have the Equinox guard hoody in several patterns for different pursuits. Works great for turkey season, dove season with its hot and early deer. Does a great job with ticks and other flying bugs. Highly recomend

Great warm weather piece.

I ordered the Equinox Guard Hoody because I hunt deep into public land in the south. It’s generally flat river bottom country. Mosquitoes are terrible. I wanted something lightweight that offered insect protection. I can honestly say it did the job keeping me cool and kept the mosquitoes off of me. Great product

Solid for warm weather

Cool to the touch fabric. I’m 5’ 10” 175 and medium fit perfectly. Really fits well with a hood and hat + mask on

Product works flawlessly, but the size runs big .

No ticks, no knats!

Deer hunted with the Equinox Guard Hoody in the south, the weather was in the middle 90's and this product did exactly as advertized and was very comfortible on my skin. No ticks, no knats ever botherd me as long as I wore this product. I was able to hunt with my climbing tree stand 20' ft up and never botherd once with knats in my face or bitting my hands. Saw 23 deer over several sits wearing this product, and took a early season doe with my bow. Will never hunt the early bow season without the Equinox Guard Hoody now that I have used it.

Equinox gaurd hoody

Love it. Sat in a duck blind without it and got bit 100’s of times. Sat there the next week and only got but 3-5 times. Great in warm weather.

Equinox hoody

I really love this hoody especially in early bow season. I hunt in Louisiana so it’s much need down here I also have the gloves and pants to go a long with it it’s a an amazing setup. I hardly ever have a Mosquitoes bite me.

Amazing. Sat in bow season

Amazing. Sat in bow season in Alabama and didn’t even think about getting bit by a mosquito.

Excellent garment and works as advertised for hunting

Great Product.

This was my first Sitka gear purchase and I do not regret it. This hoody fits great, dries quickly, and doesn’t start to smell after use for a few days. Also I did notice the bugs left me alone while wearing this in the upper 80’s during October hunting. Great purchase.

Awesome Hoody

I was diagnosed this September with anaplasmosis and lymes disease. So I was in the market for a lightweight hoody top for summer hiking and being in the outdoors. Was very excited to see this hoody is treated for insect resistance as well as being lightweight and providing sun protection. This hoody has been awesome and fills a lot of my needs. Glad to have discovered this piece of clothing.

Fits well. I like the

Hoodie is awesome, definitely would recommend.

Can’t wait!!

Can’t wait to try these come early season next year. I have a few friends that have them and they only say good things. They stay cool, quiet when moving and rubbing together and invisible!

Comfortable

Comfortable

As advertised

I actually purchased this item as a sun hoodie and bug deterrent for a backpacking trip. It helped wick the sweat just as I’d hoped. Sizing is definitely different from the standard Sitka stuff, which sadly put me directly between sizes. Size down if you don’t like super loose layers, but be ready for a tight fit.

Love it! The insect repellent

Love it! The insect repellent works really well!

Everything I thought they'd be

I purchased these Equinox Guard Pants - along with the Guard hoody and gloves - for early season archery deer hunting as I was concerned about tick and mosquito bites. The pants fit true to size, and seemed to shed most of the "sticky things" that tend to adhere themselves to clothing while you're moving to and from the blind. They provided the protection from the sun and winged critters I was looking for, fit comfortably, wash up easily, and look great (at least the Mrs. thought so), which made choking down the price tag a little easier. Cry once, amIright? For my stated purposes, they worked great and I highly recommend these pants.

Guard Hoody

Nice lightweight piece. Didn't have issues with bugs while wearing this item. Would note this item doesn't shed scent well. Does develop some stink on it after a day of use.

Must have

Great product, absolutely comfortable. As an outfitter, I have to rely on high quality gear, this one of many Sitka products in my travel set.

Sitka core lightweight hoody

I like the hoody but the XL is way to big. Doesn’t seem to be the standard sizing compared to other products I buy from Sitka. Still a great mid layer just really big.

Fits very well

Fits very well

Equinox Guard Hoody

Love this piece. Super lightweight yet durable. The facemask inside is useful but not too bulky that it gets in the way. The fact that it has the insect repellent is also a huge bonus

Equinox Guard

Thin material but works great on warm humid hunts here in the South! No mosquitos on my bow hunt!

awesome gear

fit, style and price great gear love Sitka

Happy w/ Purchase

Quality as expected, like the hood, like the pockets, more Sitka purchase in the future.

Great hoody, seems to work

Fit is way off

I’ve been a huge supporter of Sitka for years, the quality and athletic fit of was always top notch. This hoodie I can’t even wear. The fit is so far off it looks like I stole it out of my dad’s closet. New pair of mountain pants was exactly the same. Your sizing changed please change it back

Good quality and fit.
