Guard Pro Pant Reviews

Love the bug repellent features

Hunt in a very tick/spider/chigger prone area. Having stuff built in that helps prevent them getting on you is a massive relief.

Tough to beat these pants!

Stellar upgrade on the material! The pocket layout, cellphone pocket on the right leg and back wallet pocket addition are perfect! They have been my staple from shed hunting, mushrooms and through Turkey season. With the increase in ticks… do yourself a favor and order 2 pairs!

Surprisingly good

I spend a lot of time in the woods . I have not found a tick on me while wearing these pants in the woods. 👍👍

Guard pro

Sadly they ripped the second day I wore them. They got caught on a small branch. But they protected me from mosquitoes.

As always great pant

Stretchy

Good fit stretches nice and the mesh zippers are a nice touch

Guard pro pant

Never been more comfortable in the feild

Dislike the new material

The equinox guard pants have been my go to for several years. I wear them through out most of the year in south texas. The new guard pants are made of a completely different material that is not soft like the equinox guard pants and the new pants are quite loud. I returned these pants for these reasons. I did not wear them to hunt so cannot speak to durability, moisture wicking or other field tested properties.

Great with knee pads

Wearing with the knee pads from my timberline pants. I wore the original equinox guard pants all last summer for habitat restoration work and my only gripe was the lack of knee pads. The material in the guard pro pants seems more durable too, stretchy quality is also very comfortable. Note there is no belt loop reinforcement for suspenders in the guard pro. I’m hoping this is not necessary with the new fabric.

Good Pant

True fit, comfortable.

Boots

I loved the boots well put together that are light and warm

Great pants for turkey hunting

No ticks!!

Everyone at turkey camp was complaining of ticks. I didnt have one on my person. Best $$ I've spent yet!!!!

Guard Pro Pant

Actually will get my first use of the pants Saturday for a turkey hunt. The ticks are very bad this year in PA so wanted to have something that would help repel ticks. I sized up to put these item in over a gradient pant. Always happy with Stika clothing. They are the best

Good pants, could use some cargo pockets

Overall I really like these pants. Purchased to keep the spring tics off of me for a sping bear hunt in Montana. Ive worn them this spring in Wisconsin and have had no tics on me. When Ive worn other pants Ive had 2 to 3 tics when in the tall grass. I wish they had additional cargo pockets or a phone pocket but its not a deal breaker.

I only wear Sitka due

I only wear Sitka due to your generous discount and superior products.

My new favorite hunting pants

I purchased these pants for turkey season and have been very please. From the cool of the morning to the heat of mid-day these pants are comfortable and quiet.

Need more pockets on pants

Over all , love all … just need more pockets to store gear , more is always better than less . want to see more for the price.

They are okay but I prefer the original

I absolutely love my equinox gaurd pants. I have 3 pairs, two for work/hunting and one pair just for turkey. When I bought the guard pants I thought they would be like my equinox pants only more durable. My 40R equinox are a little loose so I ordered a 38R in the new guard pants. Man are these suckers tight. It like wearing skinny jeans. They are nice and all but the sizing is way off. The 38s are more like a 36. They seem more durable than the equinox but for the money I wish they fit better. I wish they would bring back the original as they are my favorite pants.

Great besides thighs

Great overall only issue is they run small in the thigh area when vents are zipped up.

Awesome pants!!

Took these out for spring turkey. They were so comfortable and durable, handled the brush no problem. We were in tick country and the built-in gaiters were great for protection and peace of mind.

Guard pro pants

Another great product from Sitka. However, sizing is a bit off. I have the same size in the grinder pants, but the guard pro are a little tight on me. Everything else is as advertised.

Great spring pant

Love the gaiter for added protection from ticks and other little critters. Little louder than other pants from Sitka but not too worried about when chasing turkeys/ shed hunting.

Pro pabt

Run small and are loud

Great choice

Debated on whether to go with Guard LT or Guard Pro pants. Glad I went with the Pro pant. Have also been going with more solid color pants lately.

Nice

Nice

2 trips turkey hunting worked

2 trips turkey hunting worked great no issues

Nice pant but too slim

Love the internal gaiter and insect shield tech. Pretty damn tight through the hips/butt though. Need a bigger size.

Great

Great pair

They need two back pockets.

They need two back pockets. I love your stuff, but the pants need both pockets. Wallet and phone. Please go to a two pocket design.

Great pant

Comfortable and durable hope to get less bites with these on

Awesome

Great product

Great pants!

Exactly what I needed for turkey and early deer season

Sitka gear

Fit perfectly used it to go hunting turkey in Mexico, couldn’t be happier. Thanks Sitka

Guard pro pant

I love the pants, the y are great , I also have a couple shirts to and they are super nice, keeps the wind off me.

Love them

Love them

Great

Needed new camo for turkey season. Haven’t used in the field yet but feels good trying it on.

Great bug defense

Cool design to keep bugs out & light weight at same time like the cooling vents. Wish they had zippered cargo pocket to keep keys from getting lost. Other than that they are perfect

Guard Pro Pant

Love the pants, hoodie and gloves. Light weight, and no bug bites.

Luca

The new version of this pant is lighter than previous version. More water and tear resistant as well.

Guard Pro

Love the fit and feel.

Noisy Material. Not soft like Equinox Guard Pants.

What I Like: I like that there's a back pocket, which the Equinox Guard pants have that I own, don't have and have always wished they did. I was really looking forward to using the knee pads that you can add inside the pants, which I wish this was on the Sitka Equinox Guard pants. I also like the less steep angle of the pockets of the Pro Guard pants, which I feel is nearly straight up and down in the Equinox Guard pants that I have. I absolutely love the two-way zippers in the fly, but there's some improvement to be made with the zippered fly, which I'll talk about in the "Don't Likes" below. What I Don't Like: The biggest dislike I had and immediate negative I noticed as soon as I pulled them out of the package was the material the Pro Guard pants are made of is very noisy when it's rubbed or when you're walking. Not a quiet, comfortable and soft material like my Equinox Guard pants that I own. I also don't like the one drop-in pocket, and prefer the zippered pockets on the front of each thigh that I can put my individual right and left glove in, and know that I'll have the right glove in the right pocket and the left glove in the left pocket, when I'm trying to put them on in the dark. Plus, I don't have to worry about them falling out or getting pulled out by brush I'm walking through. I also hate how short the zippers are in the fly of these pants, as well as in the Guard LT and the Equinox Guard pants. The zippers of all three should extend at least an inch further downward toward the crotch. Too hard to take a leak with these pants. These are also tighter in the waist (even though I ordered a bigger size 40 instead of 38's in my Equinox Guards), and the thighs are tighter and don't allow you to kneel down nearly as easily. So these run small compared to the Equinox Guard pants. I layed them flat on my desk with the waist button closed, and laid their waist's on top of each other, and the 40 waist Guard Pro Pants and the Guard LT pants were only a 1/2" bigger than my 38 waist Equinox Guard pants. I was thinking this Pro Guard pant was an upgrade of the Equinox Guard pant which is why I bought them, but they're far worse to me. Very disappointing, so I returned the two pairs I bought (Pro Guard and Guard LT pants) to add to my Equinox Guard pants (which I love), and bought two more pairs of Equinox Guard pants.

VERY different from Equinox Guard pants

LOUD!! Very different product from the Equinox Guard pants. Those are soft, comfortable, silent, and have a better pocket layout. The Guard Pro pants are very loud, and they are tight/stiff in a way that is simply uncomfortable. No zipper on the 1 cargo pocket or the 1 back pocket, which are both open (no flaps). The Equinox pants are a zippered cargo pocket on each leg, and a separate knife pocket on the R. Their fault is they have no back pocket. Sitka hit a grand slam home run with the Equinox Guard hoodie and gloves, a 1 run home run with the Equinox Guard pants, but in my book struck out with these.

These thing are very breathable
