Great pant
The features for tick prevention are well thought out. The internal gaiters give to option to tuck into socks use something other than rubber boots. I also love the permanent insect shield treatment, very effective at bug prevention. They are less stretchy than other Sitka pants which does impact the comfort for me. All in all well thought out and high quality. I like all Sitka products I have used.

Great pants
These pants were super comfortable and warm. I loved them however I had to send them back. There was nothing wrong with the pants other than they didn’t have any rear pockets. If they would have made these pants with the rear pockets they would have been perfect. I also was a bit concerned that if I washed them they’d shrink, my concern was based off of previous experience with Sitka pants and materials similar to the ones in these pants. I never washed them since I sent them back.

Everything I thought they'd be
I purchased these Equinox Guard Pants - along with the Guard hoody and gloves - for early season archery deer hunting as I was concerned about tick and mosquito bites. The pants fit true to size, and seemed to shed most of the "sticky things" that tend to adhere themselves to clothing while you're moving to and from the blind. They provided the protection from the sun and winged critters I was looking for, fit comfortably, wash up easily, and look great (at least the Mrs. thought so), which made choking down the price tag a little easier. Cry once, amIright? For my stated purposes, they worked great and I highly recommend these pants.

Stops Mosquitoes and ticks
After many years of battling mosquitoes, I purchased the pants, hoody and gloves for early deer season, expanded archery in Maine. Zero complaints. This system keeps mosquitoes from eating you alive, and keeps the deer ticks off.

Great Lightweight Pant
These pants are very comfortable. I love the built-in bug gaiters, you don't even know they are there but they keep the ticks and mosquitos at bay. I wear these to teach in a classroom and they are perfect weight and have handy pockets that make them very functional. I only wish there were more solid colors

Perfect scouting pants
I love these pants. I use them the whole season. They were great for scouting. They wicked moisture out and stayed flexible for long walks through all kinds of terrain. The ankle inner cuff kept lots of ticks off my legs. The stretch material makes it easy to keep walking, climbing, and bending all day with no issues. To me they are a must have.

I love these pants!
I’m a bigger guy. 5’6” 210. I ordered a 38” and it fit perfect. Went out today for a scout in them. Couldn’t believe our breathable and cool they kept me. I didn’t notice the mosquitos getting through either. Can’t wait to do a bottom sit with these where the bugs are terrible. Material is super comfortable.

Fit baggy in the calfs and to long
Doesn't fit to well for me. It fits but could be better. I'm 5'7 and the inseam is to long. Was hoping it would shrink after couple washes to help it but still to long. Just something about it that everything feels like it just sags down to the calf area where it makes it feel restricted after couple miles of scouting. Feels like a straight cut pants even tho it does have cuts for it to contour. Maybe it needs a more contour cut around the knees. If you wore Firstlite pants you know what I'm talking about. I'm a size 34 and it is tight around the glutes then very baggy at the calfs thus making it feel like everything sags to the calfs. They should of made it tapered like the intercept with these. Good pants but not really good for the mobile guys. Really makes you feel restricted after a mile. You'll feel it. Because the material is really good it doesn't want to shrink much so the inseam will always be 32. I think if they had a 30 then the pant will fit nicely to shorter guys with shorter femur. Then the knees where it contour will fit nicely and not so restricted in stuff. In the end I will say the waist is ok tad smaller and tight around the glutes then straight cut to the calfs that is baggy. You literally need 20inch calfs to fill the pant

These pants fit great and feel amazing. I’m a female and 5’8 140lbs and got size 30R in men’s since they don’t have a women’s specific style for these yet. The 30R fit great and I see these being my go to pants for the early season. The side vent zipper is also a great added touch to these pants.

Almost great pants
Fit, feel and quality are excellent. The comfort is top notch. So, why three stars? The fact that these pants don't have a back pocket was something I thought I could get past. It is not. Not having a back pocket means that everything has to be carried in the two zippered thigh pockets or in the traditional front pockets. Again, I thought I could get over this issue but I simply can't. These pants need at least one back pocket. If they had at least one back pocket I would give them 5 stars.

Been using them all summer
Got some new property that needed some habitat improvement. But here in Virginia ticks and mosquitoes are a real thing through the whole summer. These pants, and the same top, have been life savers in keeping the bugs off of me, and light weight enough that 80-100 degree days with a chainsaw are doable.

Initial Review: size up
I’m looking forward to using these in early deer and spring turkey seasons. Longer review pending. I’m 6’2, 210 and usually wear a 36”. My Stratus bibs are L (I should have gotten LT just to make shoulder straps longer). I tried a 36”T in this pant, and while it fit my waist, I didn’t like how tailored the legs were. I’m guessing some hunters like slimmer pants to reduce snags, but I don’t stalk like a cat. Sizing up to the 38T gave the perfect amount of leg room without ballooning the waistline and didn’t seem to jump very much from the 36s. If you want a little more room in the thigh, sizing up shouldn’t be a problem and may give you some versatility with layering.

Awesome Pants
I bought these pants mainly for camping, and they have performed flawlessly. Brought them on a 10-day canoe trip to BWCA, and they held up very well and were worn just about every day. The cuffs do a great job of keeping the pants down and keeping ticks out. The diagonal pockets double as extra ventilation zips and work pretty well when sitting, the side ventilation zips are awesome. The small front pocket worked perfect for a pair of pliers I always have on me while fishing. I don't mind that there's no rear pockets as I don't want anything in my back pockets in a canoe. The pants also do a great job at protecting from mosquitoes, I've wore them 20+ days in the woods now and don't know if I've gotten a single bite through them. They have some stretch but still feel very rugged. They soak up water quite easily, but also dry fairly fast. I normally wear 32x32 and got the 32T, they fit perfect around the waist, and are a bit long but it helps to keep them down to my shoes while sitting.

Super disappointed in this pant.
Super disappointed in this pant. I am a loyal Sitka customer but they definitely missed the mark on this one. The pant does not breath at all and once wet, stays wet. Bought these for a trip to the Congo and after the first day, they are shelved for the rest of the trip.
