Equinox Guard Hoodie Reviews

Great product

I am not as svelte as most but hoodie fits great. I have not been in a very buggy situation yet but there were a few flying around in my tent and none of them but me. I am happy with the purchase. I just need you to get the color I want in my size it wasn't available but I needed to try the bug repellent part of the hoodie before I go to Georgia in the summer.

I needed a thin hoodie for a hunt in Mexico (temps of 100 degrees) and this was perfect. Love the built in face mask for convenience!

Sitka Equinox Guard Hoodie

This hoodie is built for one thing: hot, buggy turkey hunts. It’s lightweight, breathable, and does a great job keeping mosquitoes and ticks off you—huge win when you’re sitting still waiting on a gobbler. The built-in face mask is clutch for quick concealment when a bird slips in, and the fabric is quiet with plenty of stretch so you can move, adjust, and shoulder your shotgun without getting busted. It also layers well, making it a solid go-to piece for long mornings that start cool and heat up fast. Whether you’re run-and-gun or locked in on a setup, it keeps you comfortable and focused instead of swatting bugs or overheating. Bottom line: If you hunt in the South and deal with heat and bugs, this thing flat-out works. Less swatting, more killing.

Love this Hoodie. Own 2 of them!

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.

Over sized

For years I have always worn a large in your shirts. This particular shirt is very oversized for a large. I am 6’ with long arms. One of the reasons I always wear a large. The arm length of this product. Is very long! Very disappointed.

I LIKE 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.
