Equinox Guard Hoodie Reviews

Best hoodie shirt for the woods.

My favorite hooded shirt, I had a spot of melanoma removed from my ear. This hoodie provides the best protection I’ve found yet. The hood fits snug so it stays in the wind, I bought one for sailing, and one for hiking. The bug guard is great, my ex, and a friend both have Lyme disease, this protects from tics, mosquitoes, chiggers, flies, and other bugs. The order control is great for multi-day through hikes.

Great product super functional

This product wears nice and work as advertised . I use fishing and early season duck hunting. Love it

Hoodie like no other

Absolutely awesome! This hoodie is phenomenal! Super comfortable too.

Perfect for the turkey woods

The hoodie is extremely light weight. Yet perfect for turkey hunting. Built in insect repellent, built in face mask. Works as a great under layer in the cold or perfect for a single layer on a hot day. Runs just a tad bigger than other Sitka products. I am borderline between large and xl when it comes to Sitka clothing. The large fits well.

As advertised

Fits great. Stretchy so you could wear a size down if you like a tighter fit.

Equinox Guard Hoody

This is my third Equinox hoody and it won’t be my last. Lightweight, great fit, and the built in face mask is an excellent addition!! Another home run from Sitka!!

Equinox Guard Hoody

Great feeling fabric.

Perfect Spring-time Hunt Upper

This hooded upper is the perfect weight to stave off the brisk morning temps, and yet remain comfortable in the afternoon sun during a springtime hunt. Love the hood and built in face cover.

I love this hoody!

I could live in this thing. I find myself wearing the Equinox Guard Hoody almost on a daily basis. Both outdoors in the field, running errands taking care of the family, or just lounging around the house. The Equinox Guard Hoody is one piece of my Sitka kit I wear year round. This hoody has got you covered. Thank you Team Sitka!

Seems great

I was looking for a

I was looking for a shirt to wear in 50-60 degree weather. I don’t believe this shirt fits my needs. I have no complaints about the quality, support, or design. I simply bought a shirt that was designed for a different purpose.

Amazing hot/sunny weather piece

Amazing hot weather piece. Remarkably breathable for a long sleeved shirt. Face mask is extremely easy to breathe through as well. Long chest zipper vents great when needed Sun protection rating seems to work as advertised. Didn’t burn through it. 5,7” 190 lbs, wide shoulders. Large fits comfortably loose and breathable. Would (will) buy large again

Title fits well

Very light and is good for bow hunting

Best turkey shirt

I love this shirt fits perfectly and stay cool chasing gobblers.

Comfortable

Very comfortable fit and has worked well keeping away the mosquitoes

Happy with the purchase

Fits well, great for warm weather

Will buy another

Bought 1 as a gift, he liked it so much that i bought myself one. Now i need another. Sleeves are a touch long for me but not too bad.

I wear this turkey hunting

I wear this turkey hunting and as a base layer. Super stretchy and comfortable. 10/10 recommend. I normally wear large in everything but buy this is medium!

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.

Favorite hoody I own

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.

Equinox Guard Hoody

Excellent hoody and nice built in face mask. Thin so depending on your base layer might have to start the morning with a warmer top over it.

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!

Equinox guard hoody

I loved the product , it fits well and is very comfortable.

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.

Great light weight shirt

Best light weight shirt that you can wear everyday. My go to favorite shirt

Best Turkey Top

Purchased this for turkey hunting in Mississippi. Perfect choice. Great outer layer for cool mornings while wearing a core top. I am 6 foot and 195. I purchased a size L and fits a little big. I wear a 40 regular in a coat and 15.5/34 in a shirt.

XXL

AWESOME. Stretchy. Extra length. Great hood. 100% recommend.

Great all around Hoodie

Great hoodie to keep the chill off fits snug. Great base layer.

Love this and it fits

Love this and it fits perfectly!

Only worn once not to keep bugs away.

Only long sleeve shirt I brought to Thailand. To use as a mosquito guard, for the northern part of the country. Used as I sun guard while deep sea and squid fishing the ocean in the south. Love the feel and fit. Looking forward to using it for Dove season hunting and early duck hunting season.

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.

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 base layer

This hoody is great for keeping Alaskan bugs at bay while providing sun protection.

Equinox Guard Hoody

The hoody is great in warm weather as it is quiet & breathable. The built in mask is a game changer for Archery and Turkey seasons.
