My go to hoodie
Fits very well, layers nicely. Bought in black for ground blind hunting and has been perfect for early turkey season mornings. Just warm enough, but very lightweight

Hoodie
Love this hoodie. Worn already multiple times in the woods in Florida. Ticks and no see ums are already out here and this makes it easy. No bites at all. I use permethrin on my socks and pants but needed something light weight with long sleeves. 5’11 190 and the large fits perfectly.

Superb protection
The EG hoodie arrived in time for Youth turkey season. The weather was unseasonably warm and the mosquitoes were out. I was able to call in a turkey for my son without fighting mosquitoes.

Sitka Equinox Guard Hoodie – Lightweight, Purpose-Built, and Reliable
Picked up the Sitka Equinox Guard Hoodie with early-season scouting and hunts in mind—especially for those warm, buggy days we all love to hate here in Pennsylvania. After getting hands-on with it, I can say this: it’s one of those pieces that’s clearly built by people who actually hunt. Right out of the box, the fit is athletic but not tight. I went with my usual size, and it’s spot-on. There’s room to move, layer lightly if needed, and it doesn’t bunch up when drawing a bow or wearing a harness. The material is lightweight, breathable, and surprisingly tough for how thin it feels. This thing really shines when you’re dealing with mosquitoes and ticks. The integrated insect shield is something I didn’t know I needed until I had it. You still stay cool, but you get that added protection that makes a long sit or walk through tall grass way more comfortable—and a lot less itchy. The hood fits well and actually stays in place when you move. Thumb loops keep your sleeves where they’re supposed to be, and the built-in face cover is clutch for quick concealment without overheating. This hoodie is purpose-built for early season hunts, plain and simple. Whether you’re hanging cameras, glassing from a ridge, or setting up in the hardwoods, it’s one of those pieces you forget you're wearing—but you’ll notice if it’s not with you. At this point, I’ve come to expect this level of quality from Sitka. They don’t just crank out gear—they design stuff that solves problems. No gimmicks, just well-thought-out clothing that helps you stay comfortable and focused. You can’t really go wrong with Sitka—and the Equinox Guard Hoodie is another example of that.

The equinox guard hoodie is
The equinox guard hoodie is an excellent piece of hunting clothing. It’s great for warm weather hunting and it also works well as a base layer for colder weather. But its best feature is its insect repellant feature, which works great. As far as sizing, I am between a medium and large size and the medium works well for me.

Great hoodie for warmer weather (40 degrees plus)
Very thing material, similar to under armor. New England spring turkey may be good outer layer once it warms up, maybe a t shirt underneath but would recommend something else as an outer layer if it gets down much below the mid 40s. Overall happy!

Love This Top
I'm 5'9 175lbs and medium fits me well. I wore it in my backyard when the thermacel was taking too long to work. Kept mosquitoes off of me. And it works great for early season here in Texas. I was a bigger a person at one point and got an XL but even that was big so in remembering that I went with 1 size smaller than I normally like, which is large. Got a medium and no complaints.

I recently bought this hoodie for Louisiana’s Spring Turkey season and am pleased with it so far. I’ve worn it in the field scouting, and it seems to do what it says it does. I’ll update my review as the weather warms and the mosquitos really start coming out.
