Someone forgot the Insect Shield

Worthless as bug shirt. Too bad because it is really comfortable.

Amazing

Fits loose, amazing quality. I was concerned about the fit not knowing what was to be expected, i contacted customer service via email after hours and first thing in the morning i had a response addressing all my concerns and reassuring me i ordered the correct sizes. Blown away but the quality of the gear and great customer service. Sitka just earned a customer for life.

Guard Hoody is as advertised

Began working in yard in usual attire. The bugs were winning. Changed into the Hoody infused with permethrin and no more bug problem. They just went away. The Hoody is my third Sitka garment and they all are as you advised them.

Awesome Protection

I was skeptical of how well the "Insect Shield" would preform with mosquitoes being very prevalent in my area. I was astonished of how well this hoodie repelled these pest and made being outside in the summer heat bearable. I recently took several of these on a fishing trip to Alaska and they were magnificent. My wife would not go outside without hers on. We made multiple hikes to fish the off the beaten path, well over 14 miles in one day and never worried about mosquitoes. Would not go on a trip without one of these hoddies in my luggage.

Disappointed in the material but excited to test

I’m excited to try my jacket this fall, however I will say I’m a little disappointed in the material. I thought the material was thicker however it is like a dry fit material. It would be good for a very warm fall day but anything below 50 degrees i would imagine I’ll be wearing something warmer. Also, I got a XL and I would say it’s a little bigger than I expected. I’m around 6”1 240lb I’m not sure a large would be a better fit. But the XL is baggy.

Equinox hoodie

I’m on my way to my property in Alaska and will put it to the test for sure but anything with a hood that isn’t a sweater in the summer is half the battle at keeping the mosquitoes away. If it works as advertised then Sitka will have a hard time keeping them in stock.

Clouds of bugs

Just returned from a Canadian bear hunting trip in the most mosquito, black fly, tick infested swamp I’ve ever seen. Literally clouds of bugs wanting to eat me. I purchased the hoodie, pants and gloves prior to the trip. Along with a Thermacell I never had a single bite in 5 days of hunting. I don’t know how it works, but it’s an amazing product. I highly recommend it!

Bug Guard

I use the Equinox Guard for all of my early season sqyirrel/deer/turkey hunting. It works great to repel bugs and keep ticks out, so I ordered a set of tan pants, a blue and a green shirt for camping, hiking and mushroom hunting. Large shirt is a good fit, 6'00" 185lbs and my arm length is around 35. 5-36" I usually order large tall to fit my arm length, but these shirts fit great.

What you would expect

The quality of this gear is excellent, i cannot comment on the insect repellent yet as it hasn’t been hot enough long enough yet for them for them to be a problem. I will update later. I would say if you are thinking about getting it. Then do it.
