Love most everything about these pants

I love about 90% of the features of this very expensive pair of pants. They're soft, quiet, and really do keep bugs and ticks off of me. I love that they're cool, sweat wicking, and don't stink after using them on multiple hot days without washing them. I have used them now for over a year, and really love most everything about them. There are some minor improvements, but for the most part I love them. I have one pair and actually just ordered two more pairs in different camouflage patterns. I just got in, and absolutely hated the Guard Pro and Guard LT pants, which I thought I would add to the clothing arsenal for hunting and photographing wildlife. But they were so bad, I returned them, and got two more pairs of the Equinox Guard pants to add to my pair I've had for a year. The things I dislike about the Equinox Guard pants I've had for a year are that there's no rear pocket(s). I also don't like the angle of the two hand pockets for resting your hands/arms, or keeping your coins/change in. They are too steep of an angle up and down, and kinda cut into your wrist when you put your hands in there. They need to be more designed like the hand pockets of the Guard Pro and Guard LT pant pockets and need to be more horizontal than vertical. They also seem rather shallow inside the pockets, and I've had stuff fall out of my pockets of these pants when I was driving my truck or sitting on the ground waiting for a turkey or deer. I also don't like the zippered fly, which is too "shallow", and should go down probably an inch or two longer toward the crotch, as it is too hard to get to "stuff" and pee with it like it is. But I love just about everything else about them. I just wish they had a lighter version of them, though they aren't too terribly warm for where I live in hot and humid South Texas. But for the most part, I really do love them. Even though I have some criticisms of them that I've listed above, and for those things that keep them from being perfect (for me), I should probably give them 4 stars. But I love what they do for me for the most part in hot/humid/buggy conditions, and that's why I gave them 5 stars.

Pants

Pants are pricey and nothing special. I bought for the tick repellent. We will see if it works.

Equinox Guard Pant

Good fit and comfortable to wear.

Great lightweight pant

Wore this during early season in NC. Helped keep me cool and the bugs off me during a 80 degree hunt. Mesh lined leg vent zippers and built in gaiters are great

Decent Pants

Thought these would be better pants. Second time wearing them walking through the brush, they ripped. The knife pocket isn’t very good either because I lost my pocket knife while using it.

Stellar fit and function

Outstanding pants. Size was a little big when I first tried them on. When I GOT to the hunt and put on the 200 base layer, fit was perfect. Durability is good as well because I am a clutz. So I know they are made solid and well. Never had hunting clothes fit so well, be so functional AND keep me warm.

These are the best durable pants. Love them and even bought my dad some.

Love them

Fit perfect couldn’t ask for a better product for Montana winters and staying warm and dry.

Equinox

These pants are light weight and quiet. Nicely designed with vents and pockets. I highly recommend. I’m 5’8 190lbs and the 34Rs fit nicely. 32R could fit my honey buns.

Awesome pant for warm weather.

Equinox Gaurd Pant

These pants are amazing. They fit pretty true to size and they are extremely comfortable. They aren't bulky whatsoever.

Lightweight

Light weight for early fall warm weather

Guard pant review

Product works well at keeping bugs off and from penetrating the fabric.

Bug guard

Fits well

Best hunting pants

Best hunting pants I’ve ever owned. Comfortable, and I mean comfortable. They feel like a favorite pair of pajama pants but are stylish and super durable. Warm and a great base layer. I’ve hunted in them several times this season so far for everything from deer to waterfowl and I love them.

Runs big

Completed two systems for early season mid season for my son and I. These runs a little big and long inseam. Makes for a baggy loose fit, that is not as advertised.

Very nice

Fit great

Great 50s-70s Pant

These are fantastic pants for 50-60 degree weather. If you're continually moving, you can definitely use these into the 40s, I wear them into the 70s but they get hot. That where the leg vents come into play. Very quiet for spot and stalk, but they are tough enough to hold up getting into the nasty briar patches. My only gripe is I wish they had at least one rear pocket. The other pockets are well thought out and adequate.

Great pants

This is my second pair of the guard pants. Love the fit and feel, and the insect protection is legit.

Great purchase

Bought these as a gift and they were exactly what he wanted. We did return because he wants a different color but everything else about them is functional and nicely made.

BEST OUT THERE

SITKA IS HIGH QUALITY, BEEEN USING IT FOR YEARS THERE IS NO COMPARISON

Perfect Early Season Pants

I purchased these and the Equinox Guard Hoodie for early Whitetail season in South Carolina. I was very impressed with how well this system works for mosquitoes. The camo pattern really blends in and was the perfect amount of comfort for cool mornings and warm days.

Perfect

Love my new Equinox Guard pants in Optifade Cover, the pattern and fit are perfect for both fall and spring turkey hunts, where I need the protection from ticks and other creatures.

Great pants

Fit perfect. comfortable, keep the bugs away.

Perfect turkeyware!

Excellent pants for warm to cool weather when on the move.

Equinox Guard Pants

fit is perfect. Haven’t had them in the field yet but have waited for weeks for them to be back in stock, excited to see what they do.

Great features

Great thought out features. Does help stay cool as advertised. Little baggy through thighs and crouch (worse with vents open), but minimal con for benefit. Was worried about warmer and warmer early seasons, but these pants are the fix

Great product.

Fits great. Like a work pant.

Great Products

Everything I have ever ordered from Sitka is amazing. I have numerous camo sets and they are all awesome. My only complaint is how long items stay out of stock. I’ve been trying to order the full Equinox set in Optifade Cover since before spring turkey season and just recently was able to order the pants but the hoodie I have yet to ever see in stock. Kinda ridiculous in my opinion. I’m willing to pay the price of the items but the long wait times for stocking is outrageous.

Guard Pants

Simply the best choice for when it's warm outside and when bugs are still out. Great for turkey season and early archery as well. No complaints!

Guard pant

Fits great and breathable

Not bad

A bit similar to traverse series.

The zips could use some

The zips could use some work. Wish they came in short sizes. But they are great pants. Recommend them.

Frank

Got well, worn twice. Like the product

Equinox shirt

I think the product is way overpriced for what i recieved

Best early season pant

Lightweight, quiet, and protects from bugs in early season. Like the pant so much I bought it again in other colors. 34T fits me perfectly.

Fabric is not durable

The design is excellent. Pockets are well laid out and spacious, protective flaps are well placed and hold in place. Fabric is quite soft. However, the fabric also seems quite weak. I wore these perhaps 12 times. During about 3 of those, I sat on the ground to glass. I soon had a rip in the seat (puncture of the fabric) of these practically new pants. I tried to have them repaired under warranty and was informed that this was a wear and tear issue and so would be charged ~$110 for the fix.

It actually WORKS!!!

I live in South Florida and spend a lot of time out in the Everglades, where the mosquitoes are relentless — they’ll bite right through jeans and just about anything else. I was skeptical at first, thinking there’s no way this product could actually hold up out there. But wow, was I wrong! I decided to give it a try, and it worked like magic — not a single mosquito bite. Absolutely incredible!

Great fit and insect protection!
