Best Early Season Hoodie

I bought this hoodie mainly for early wood duck/teal season in Missouri and KY. Hoping to get a little use for turkey season as well. I have had the Equinox Guard pants for a season or two now and haven't had the first tick on me. This hoodie did run a little big. I'm 6'0" 190 and the medium fits me really good with extra room.

Initial review

Is one of those I should have bought earlier but hesitated because of the price. I worked with bug repellant clothing while in the military and like most people, anything to keep the bugs away makes for a better hunt. I'm real familiar with permethrin and here in Texas I used to pre treat all my clothing, and now I don't have to. The verdict is out on how long it will maintain pest resistance and I'll update my review if needed, but for now it simply works at keeping mosquitos and ticks away during our dove season. I'll be using it during early teal season too. On that note, I would love to see Sitka bring in some other camo patterns offered for early water fowl seasons as we sure have mosquitos in teal season. I do like the hood and mask and its also quite breathable and comfortable.

Equinox guard hoodie optifade

I really love this hoody. It’s absolutely amazing! I did however, enter a small pond and got absolutely destroyed by mosquitoes. I had over 20 bites on me. I applied some feet and it helped. Normally where there isn’t many mosquitoes around, they don’t bother me. I still give this a high rating as it’s super durable. No rips or tears from getting caught on branches.

Mosquitoe RESISTANT

I had high hopes for this shirt hunting in North Florida. It definitely kept the majority of the mosquitos away. It did not prevent ALL bites. I recently came back from a trip to Northern Wisconsin and had two of them I wore while fishing at our cabin. Mosquitoes were horrible and I did get bit a few times. Again, the majority did not get through. It has been really hot (85-95 degrees) and the shirt has performed well in the heat. 4 stars because I had high expectations on the mosquito prevention. I wear a large in all other Sitka and this one is a medium. This shirt runs big.

Color is off

Material is great. This is my second equinox hoodie. I bought a second in subalpine color. It is darker than I expected and have seen in other pieces. I wanted it for the more green color for early season duck marsh. It will work for early bowhunting and late turkey season so I'll keep it for that.

New favorite shirt

Absolutely love this shirt. Works in a number of conditions. All the way from hot af to chilly. Protects your skin. I love the insect protection as well. Gonna wear this thing until it has holes in it. I was slightly worried about the face mask being annoying in super hot weather, but it doesn’t bother me at all. Great to have the option there if I wanted to use it. Ordered a medium and fits great. I’m 5’5” and 150 pounds. Average body type.

Great shirt, keeps the mosquitos at bay.

Wore this for the first time today, hiked about 10 miles in the Virginia Blue Ridge mountains, it was very warm and muggy. Shirt was great, kept me cool, dried fast, and didn’t get a single mosquito bite. Also the size is great, I have a medium and it fits like a medium not like I need 6 pack Abs to wear it. I’m 5’7” about 180.

Useful

The guard hoodie works. The mosquitos and flies have been brutal this year so far. I used a different product for one trip and I am still scratching the bites on my neck and shoulders. With the equinox I haven’t experienced the bite through as before. The hood is deep enough to catch the brim of my hat, staying in place. The face mask rocks to cover my face and helps some with sun protection. I’m running three hoodies so far scouting.

If you ever hunt in Florida…In September… In the swamp… you know about mosquitoes. It’s Floridas State Bird, and between the hoodie and the pants, they are game changers, and keep you cool! Love em!
