Equinox guard hoodie

The equinox guard hoodie is such a versatile piece. You can use it perfectly for early season deer hunting as well as turkey season. 10/10 product.

Equinox Hoodie Optifade Timber

Must have for warm weather hunting. It isn't going to provide 100% against mosquitoes an flying insects. But, I ordered mine 1 size larger an I have been matted in mosquitoes without the need to swat. I did have a nice pair of transition shades an the Traverse Gloves if I'm gun hunting or the Equinox Gloves if I'm bow hunting. Must have pieces.

Excellent ridge runner!

This is the best lightweight run and gun hoodie that I’ve found. It is the best for running up to the tops of ridges and working your way down in the sun. I’ve purchased multiples.

I love it

Wears a little loose so if you want a tighter fit maybe one size down . No bugs or ticks while wearing and I hunted almost everyday of spring turkey season . I have 3 of them definitely worth checking out .

I own 6 of these! It’s a must have for hot weather hunting in the Deep South!

I hunt year round in middle Georgia. I own 6 of the equinox guard hoodies with equinox guard pants in 3 different camo patterns. These are a must have for areas thick with mosquitos and ticks. I have never had a tick or excessive bug bites after 3 seasons of use thanks to the treatment on the material. I wear a 46R jacket and am somewhat fit, but I do not recommend ordering an extra large for two reasons: 1) the material is very elastic, and 2) the hoodie and mask on the XL is too baggy for keeping the mask against your face. It is pretty worthless if the top of the mask simply says around your chin. It breathes reasonably well but again I’m hunting the swampy areas of middle Georgia. You cannot go wrong with this hoodie.

It was a perfect fit

It was a perfect fit in the shoulders but way too big around the torso. I’m 6’ & 215 lbs. I also didn’t like the fabric, I sent it back & got a wool 120 shirt instead.

Love this thing, just one gripe.

Absolutely amazing product, but one season of constant wear and it already has some loose threads. I only wash my Sitka clothing when it really gets sweat in and I only hang dry them. Was hoping to get 2-3 seasons out of it before I started to see wear on it. Other wise super comfortable and the mask in the hood and no bite through technology is a god send. Really not a bad price for a piece of Sitka gear that services this good of a purpose

Very happy. Always wanted to try this product. Had the opportunity to finally purchase. Would buy more. It's nice not to have to douse myself in spray. Deer and black flies went into attack mode. Put my hood on. Wore the face guard. Very pleasant time in the summer woods and stream.

Impressive

I farm and during the growing season many hours can be spent fixing pivots. I was looking for a light long sleeve layer that would provide protection from the sun while being cool in hot, humid conditions. This hoodie meets those expectations, but it exceeds my expectations on how it reduces mosquito bites. I was cautiously optimistic about the claims but was very impressed, the hoodie has become an everyday layer for me and will be buying another solid colour. I wear them with the equinox guard pants. Light, cool, comfortable, breathable.
