I bought the Equinox Guard Hoodie and the Equinox Guard pants for shed antler and turkey hunting/photography in the spring, and dove and deer hunting/photography in the late summer and early fall. This hoodie is so soft, so cool, and doesn't stink after wearing and sweating into it for several days. So, I bought another one in a different color and now have two. Only negative I can find about it is that I just think it's way overpriced for what it is. So, I only buy them on sale. The only other thing I'd like is if the tails were longer, so I don't have plumber's butt when bending over. But other than that, I love this Equinox Guard hoodie and the Equinox Guard pants and Equinox Guard gloves. I've yet to get bitten by any bugs while wearing this outfit over the last year, and have yet to have a tick on me while wearing it.

What a great piece of hunting gear. Feels great in the heat and kept the bugs off of me. The hoodie and facemask helped keep the mosquitos off of my face as well. The material is very stretchy so it runs big. I normally wear an XL and the Large was plenty big for me.

When the weather is still hot here in Kansas during teal and early duck the marshes with their shallow pools and stagnant water are a breeding ground for mosquitos. I tried regular permethrin treatments on my clothes but it didn't work. The insect shield in this garment really works and the facemask and hood and the fabric itself help keep those mosquitoes at bay! Also the loose fit helps it keep you cool and prevents sunburns too! Pair it with a thermacell and you should be golden.

Because I don’t want deet in my blood system I bought one for Spring fishing in Alaska. After ten-days at Outback camp I did not get one bight. When we went to Africa for all-out bush safari I doubled down and bought a second Equinox insect guard shirt. Keep in mind Africa the mosquitos are not just pest, they carry deadly maleria and yellow fever. After 18 days on safari, not one bite while wearing my Equinox hoodies. I’m a buyer and I’m a believer in th Equinox hoodies!

Sizing Runs Large The Sitka Equinox Guard Hoodie truly works as advertised. I used it during early season outings and didn’t get a single mosquito bite — the protection is excellent. Unfortunately, I had to return it due to sizing; the garment runs a bit large. That said, the return process was smooth, and the customer service was excellent throughout. The exchange for a smaller size was efficient and a quick turn around.

I wanted to like this hoodie. It's super lightweight, really comfortable, the facemask is perfect (not too loose or tight), and is actually bug proof which was the main reason I got it. Two reasons for the low review. The sizing is way off. I'm a large/large tall in every other sitka product. The large equinox guard fits like a poncho. It's very baggy. Secondly, it's super delicate. I shredded one of the sleeves on a pretty small twig that I brush past every time I hike in to one spot I hunt frequently. I've never had issues with the core lightweight hoodie, Merino 120, and a few other lightweight tops from other brands. First hike in the equinox and it snags and leaves a huge running tear down the arm. I'd have expected snags or pulls, which are pretty common on my core hoodies, but this just caught and ripped pretty severely. Also- the subalpine finish is very shiny. I believe it's the fabric, but I've noticed that IR pics on my trail camera glow really brightly. Not sure if it impacts animals spotting me but it's different than pretty much every other top I own. Not an issue, just an observation.

I have 2 of these hoodies. I’ve worn them 3 seasons during spring turkey hunts in the south east USA with ticks and mosquitoes everywhere. I just bought a 3rd shirt to wear because theyvcover it all bugs and the warmer season hunts. These garments are the best bug defense I’ve had yet. Thanks for a great product.

This is my first hunt with it. I’m greatly satisfied. Mosquitoes weren’t bothering me as bad as they used to. They were going after exposed areas like my hands and face. Still would use a thermacell to keep that from happening. Would definitely recommend this top for early season bow hunting and for for them thunder chickens too.
