Guard LT Pant Reviews

Great early season pant

Real light weight and perfect for the hotter weather. Love them so much that I bought 2 pair!

Guard LT Pant

Good pant for projects in the heat and insects

Fits perfect

Fits true to size and great bug guard on the ankle.

Very noisy

Bought a pair of these 3 years ago and they have been great. Decided to order another pair this year. Pant material must have changed as they are very noisy now. Sounds like im wearing an old pair of windbreaker pants.

Not what I expected

No zip pockets. Or zip ventilations runs hot even for light. Should of had ventilation on side for long walks

Guard LT Pant Best For Hot Weather Insect Preotection

I love these pants for hot weather hunts and scouting work to get things done with great bug protection.

They work!

No insects!

Excited about the guard.

These are men’s pants and I’m not quite built like a man but it was the only way to buy these insect deterring pants. They need a larger thigh and behind for this hunting woman. I love the tuck in your boot sleeve and pull your sock over protection idea. I’m complementing the pants by doing the simple spraying of my vehicle carpets, seat covers etc for anything that gets by these pants. I have coupled it with the Sitka guard hoody ( which I love. Just asking…. Sitka women love the outdoors too, Please include us in your designs!

Great early season pants

Fantastic pants working on food plots, turkey hunting or just everyday in the woods.

Great for warm weather and light brush

I love the guard line up, another tool to use to help battle the insects. Super lightweight, easy to move in, climb sticks or mtn sides. I will say they are not meant to be busting through heavy brush in. Great for the early season deer and spring turkey. Waist is true to size but they are tight in the thigh area

Great product

Not often you make it through turkey season / early Spring without picking up a tick. The insect shield functionality in my experience, worked exactly as intended!

Nice Pants!

Great fitting summer pant. The lighter color helped locate any tags alongside as well.

Love them

Nice and breathable

Breathable, and did great with bugs in Alaska. Comfortable with the 5 mile hike we did. Like the adjustable button on the pant. I do miss a single zipper pocket that’s why not 5 stars, love my zipper pocket.

Great pants

Kept the ticks off of me.

Best light pant alternative to

Best light pant alternative to insect protection, casual or fishing!

Too loud for bowhunting

Nice and light but way too loud for bowhunting. The original version of the guard pants is significantly quieter.

Great fitting but a little loud

These pants fit great and are comfortable. Quality and durability seem solid however they are pretty noisy/swooshy/crinkly sound. The regular equinox guard pants were a much quieter material. I am hoping they soften up/get quieter after a wash or 2.

Very loud

Way too loud for bowhunting. Had to return. The 1. 0 model is way better and much more quiet. Will try to find those somewhere instead

I wore this suit on

I wore this suit on a Canada fishing trip . The area I went was infested with mosquitoes. The suit protected me and worked as it states it would against insects. I would d3finitely recommend this suit. It is great. Thank you.

Great pant

Great quality and fit

These pants fit well and are built to last. Very comfortable and seem very durable

Great warm weather pant

Does what it says, no bugs, no ticks, light and breathable but also durable.

Awesome pants

These pants are great!

Fitment

I was very impressed on how the pants fit and the quality was never a big Sitka fan but this has changed my mind

Runs small

I wish these pants had more pockets, and side vents runs small, pockets are small.

Guard LT Pant

Very lightweight and comfortable, they are perfect for spring turkey and early fall deer seasons!

Performed great in warm weather

Performed great in warm weather and kept bugs and ticks away without having to wear bug spray.

Guard lite

Fit is true to size, I've only owned them a week so I am interested how they hold up. Only things I don't care for are there is only one back pocket and the gaiter is looser than I expected it to be.

Originally I had ordered waist

Originally I had ordered waist size 34, which is my correct waist size. They were too small. Sent back for 36. Fit much better. Nice pants but for the price I should be able to select my inseam. Not everyone is a 32 in. inseam. Otherwise, as usual, nice Sitka quality.

Fits great

Turkey hunting

Best turkey hunting pants

Perfect for spring gobblers

Perfect for spring gobblers

All Sitka gear is top notch.

These and the guard pros are some of the most versatile work, hunt, or hiking pants on the market. I have tons of high end brand name gear and these are my favorite.

Great lightweight pant

Pants are very nice and comfortable. The insect shield works amazing. I just wish the pants had some more pockets.

Excellent light weight pant

I used these pants for warm weather turkey hunting and they worked great. Only thing to improve would be a zippered side pocket. Loved the ankle cuff to keep the ticks out!

Love them

Light and easy wear during spring turkey hunting……great for long sits helping to keep the insects away. Highly recommend

Peace of mind - light weight and comfortable

I picked up a pair of these for a recent work trip to an area with lots of ticks. They look nice enough to wear in a professional setting but provide the peace of mind to reduce the threat of tick-born illnesses. I doused mine with permethrin and breathed easy.

Guard LT pant

Fits as described, perfect pants for everyday wear. Great for outdoor activities even in warmer weather.

Guard LT Pant

First impression after trying on, this meets the same quality that I have come to expect from my SITKA gear. They run a little tighter than my other pairs of hunting pants. I would have probably ordered a size bigger. Not a huge issue, just makes loading the pockets harder.

Great fit.

Great fit.

Awesome produce

The pants are thin so maybe early season it won’t be to hot to wear

Light weight but still durable

Really impressed with these pants. True to size. They breath well but also hold up to whatever you want to get into.

Guard LT Pants

Great pants for warm days. Size 34 is a little big.

They are great!

They are great!

Awesome they fit great

No Critters

I watched the mosquitos fly around me but refused to land because of these pants and the matching shirt. No ticks this time around either. 5’ 9” 160 lbs. Perfect fit

Light and Comfortable

I’m looking forward to bow hunting this year where the mosquitoes won’t bother me

Guard LT Pant

I’ve had the chance to run the Guard LT Pants from Sitka on a turkey hunt down in Florida and again in Ohio, and I’ve got to say—they’ve seriously impressed me. First thing that stood out was the insect protection. Between both hunts, I didn’t deal with ticks, bugs, or anything getting through to my skin or base layers, which is a huge win, especially in warmer, high-pressure environments. The fit is spot on—comfortable without being bulky—and they move really well whether you’re sitting, crawling, or covering ground. They’re lightweight, breathable, and ideal for spring conditions or any warm-weather hunt where you still need protection without overheating. Overall, they just perform. Comfortable, functional, and built for exactly what they’re intended to do. Definitely a solid piece of gear for anyone chasing birds or hunting in bug-heavy areas.

OTC Socks? THESE ARE NOT FOR YOU.

Overall this is great, its lightweight and works as it should. It fits true to size. My one and only complaint is that the internal leg gaiters were changed in a bad way. They were shortened to barely above the ankle. This was done due to them being a hot weather pant and the presumption that people do not wear over the calf socks with their boots year round. Well I do. These are designed to accommodate extremely short socks. The downside is that I have fold down my everyday socks in order to use the internal leg gaiters. If the leg gaiters were left alone to match the Equinox Guard, they would still work for my situation, and that would not effect anyone who decides to wear shorter boots/shorter socks. They could still use the pants as intended. 6 additinal inches of extremely lightweight leg gaiters would not generate too much heat or be cumbersome to anyone wearing short socks. If you're like me and wear over the calf socks all year, these pants are not for you. They have baby-sized internal leg gaiters that do not accommodate tall socks. I would say it is a design flaw because full length internal leg gaiters would not change the purpose, fit, or function of the pants. The re-designing of the leg gaiters however, does make them unusable to us tall sock-wearing people.
