Just like the corelightweight hoodie but has insect shied. The cut and fit is great, facemask is ultra lightweight and breathable unlike some other brands.

Perfect for warm weather or light base layer

This is my second Equinox Guard Hoody. It's great at keeping the sun off and keeps the insects at bay - 2 big pluses during warmer hunts here in AZ. Also, works well as a light base layer. I definitely recommend this product.

New favorite base.

It is light enough to wear early season. I also find myself going for it later in the season as a base. I like the fit better than the core stuff.

Great warm weather piece.

I ordered the Equinox Guard Hoody because I hunt deep into public land in the south. It’s generally flat river bottom country. Mosquitoes are terrible. I wanted something lightweight that offered insect protection. I can honestly say it did the job keeping me cool and kept the mosquitoes off of me. Great product

Equinox Guard Hoody does its job with style

Big fan of the Core LW Hoody and happen to frequent an area where mosquitoes are a problem so was excited to have the same basic features plus insect protection built it. It's a different fabric with a tighter weave than the Core LW but just as light and comfortable. Fit is about the same although the tail seems longer. I have one in Subalpine for hunting and bought this one in Coyote for fishing and hiking. Naturally, I look terrific in both but the bugs hate them.. Get one (or two).

Worth it

Best piece of gear I have owned for Dense mosquito and tick infested hunting ground where large game (Red Stag, Whitetail and Bear for me) travel. The protection was evident immediately. Where in years past I would provide a small blood sacrifice from over a hundred mosquito bites and dozens of ticks on purely discipline driven single day hunts, implementing the Equinox system resulted in enabling me to refocus my discipline to the active pursuit without the blood loss. Totally worth it.

Great Product.

This was my first Sitka gear purchase and I do not regret it. This hoody fits great, dries quickly, and doesn’t start to smell after use for a few days. Also I did notice the bugs left me alone while wearing this in the upper 80’s during October hunting. Great purchase.

Awesome Hoody

I was diagnosed this September with anaplasmosis and lymes disease. So I was in the market for a lightweight hoody top for summer hiking and being in the outdoors. Was very excited to see this hoody is treated for insect resistance as well as being lightweight and providing sun protection. This hoody has been awesome and fills a lot of my needs. Glad to have discovered this piece of clothing.

Better than expected

Not sure what the material is, but it’s ideal for early season sits in a blind when it’s hot. I also wear it out in the evenings. I’m not a fan of most shirts this thin but this one looks good on and is not clingy. Nice to get a duel use out of a piece of hunting gear.

As advertised

I actually purchased this item as a sun hoodie and bug deterrent for a backpacking trip. It helped wick the sweat just as I’d hoped. Sizing is definitely different from the standard Sitka stuff, which sadly put me directly between sizes. Size down if you don’t like super loose layers, but be ready for a tight fit.

Everything I thought they'd be

I purchased these Equinox Guard Pants - along with the Guard hoody and gloves - for early season archery deer hunting as I was concerned about tick and mosquito bites. The pants fit true to size, and seemed to shed most of the "sticky things" that tend to adhere themselves to clothing while you're moving to and from the blind. They provided the protection from the sun and winged critters I was looking for, fit comfortably, wash up easily, and look great (at least the Mrs. thought so), which made choking down the price tag a little easier. Cry once, amIright? For my stated purposes, they worked great and I highly recommend these pants.

I’ve been a huge supporter of Sitka for years, the quality and athletic fit of was always top notch. This hoodie I can’t even wear. The fit is so far off it looks like I stole it out of my dad’s closet. New pair of mountain pants was exactly the same. Your sizing changed please change it back

Received during winter months so

Received during winter months so havnt had a chance to try out the inspect repellant too much, but the fit is spot on. As always, Sitka’s attention to detail is top notch. Face mask is great. I see myself wearing the from spring turkey all the way through late deer season here in the south. Ticks, chiggers, and mosquitos are real battles here, so look forward to seeing how they do preventing mosquito bits, if that proves to as good as advertised this thing should get 7 star!

This hoodie is legit. It is extra stretchy so you can layer over warmer gear as the season goes on. The face mask and hood are great at keeping bugs at bay and scent under control. It is ultra quiet too making it perfect for bow hunting. It has become one of my favorite early season items.

I live in Pennsylvania and

I live in Pennsylvania and since buying this hoody I haven’t had a single tick on season long I’m truly impressed with how well it works. It’s very light weight which I didn’t initially expect but it will be a great outer layer in spring turkey season or early September elk hunts. Works good on mosquitoes too.
