Perfect hot weather pants

We have a hunting lease that has the worst ticks and chiggers on planet earth. No amount of spray will keep you safe. I trail run, clear brush, feed quail over there all summer without a single bite as long as I wear my Equinox pants.

Comfortable and well designed

Perfect spring turkey pants. Tuck your socks into the inner liner at your feet and wear some tall permethrin treated boots and you’ll come home tick and insect free. Wouldn’t catch me wearing anything else.

Don't like the hand pockets

They work well, but I can't get past the feeling that stuff is going to fall out of them.

Equinox Guard Pants.

Excellent product used in conjunction with my Equinox Guard Hoodie. I didn't have any issues with insects last weekend while turkey hunting. Highly recommend. In addition, they are extremely breathable, especially when you open up the venting which still protects you from insects due to the internal mesh.

Good as advertised

I put these to the test in the woods in Oklahoma in July. They are lightweight and legit, not a single tick, mosquito, or bug on me in 4 hours of prepping for hunting season.

Sitka Equinox Guard Pant

Hunted in the Pennsylvania hardwoods along the NY border this spring, and these pants performed flawlessly. The fit was spot-on—comfortable in a blind or covering ground in the woods. They handled early morning chills and warmer afternoons with ease. What really stood out was how well the Core Optifade pattern blended in—my guide said I practically vanished against a tree. Lightweight, breathable, and durable. Zero complaints. Sitka nailed it.

Good Warm Weather Hiking Pants

I wore these pants on a 7 day hiking & camping trip in Canada in August. The insecticide infused pants worked great as I never got a tick or bug bite. The pants are comfortable & cool. My only complaint is there are no back pockets on the pants so it took some getting used to. The pants breath well and dry quickly when I soaked them with sweat.

Unexpectedly comfy and excellent in the briars

Loving these pants so far very comfortable to me. They feel almost like sweatpants when wearing them. They are very durable pants, they stand up to the briars while hiking very well and don't easily get caught. The vents on the side are great and really let you control the temperature pretty well. So far no ticks or mosquitoes since getting the equinox set.

Honestly the equinox guard line

Honestly the equinox guard line is the absolute best defense against mosquitoes and other bugs. I watched a swarm of mosquitoes land on me, walk around, try to bite through the guard cloth, then just flew away (in the bayou of Louisiana for the record). Worth every penny.

Love the pants and they keep the bugs away. I ordered the wrong pattern at first and asked for an exchange of the new optifade cover and received optifade alpine, again. Do not make the names of your camo so similar.

Turkey hunting essential!

Well made. I especially appreciated the reinforced belt loops. I like to use the Kodiak pant suspenders with these pants so they don’t sag when carrying a pistol.

Turkey hunting East TN

So far so good. They are light enough to wear either alone on the warmer days we have been having as well as under a pair of the traverse pants on the colder Mornings. I was torn between the subalpine or the new cover camo for spring turkey here and ended up going with the sub. Really happy and impressed how well it blends.

Excellent turkey hunting pants!

The insect barrier works wonders. I was skeptical at first but after using I am a firm believer it keeps ticks off of you. I tuck the gaters in my socks and I don’t worry about them. The fit is good! Not like skinny pants but not baggy either. Perfect athletic fit! Thanks Sitka!

Tight fit

Overall the pants are good. They are tight in the crotch and upper thighs unfortunately. I have the traverse and mountain paints which I wear all the time. For some reason it appears they made the crotch on the equinox about 1 inch shorter than those which really makes everything much tighter and less comfortable. They are still wearable, I just wish they fit like their other pants which are perfect.

Sitka Equinox Guard Pant

Love the pants how ever they do run a little small but they are absolutely the best pants for the early bug infested hunting season. We did a week long elk hunt in south Oklahoma where seed ticks are notoriously over bearing and often ruin hunts from the sheer amount of ticks but with these pants I had zero issues. If you are an early season hunter then these pants are a must purchase item! Also recommended combining them with the Equinox Guard Hoodie.
