Works as advertised

I wore this backpacking this weekend. I loved it. The mosquitos are terrible at the lake I stayed at. Zero bites while I wore the shirt. It's incredibly comfortable.

Awesome Shirt

I love the shirt, it runs big so I would size down. I love the Cover camo pattern as well! Haven't worn it in the woods yet but will be taking it to Canada next week and will see how it holds up to the black flies and mosquitos.

Layering in East TN

This has made a great outer layer on the warmer spring turkey hunts. In the morning I will wear a traverse jacket with this and a core SS TShirt. I was torn between subalpine camo or the new optifade but really glad I went with Alpine for as well as it blends into the areas I hunt.

What you would expect

The quality of this gear is excellent, i cannot comment on the insect repellent yet as it hasn’t been hot enough long enough yet for them for them to be a problem. I will update later. I would say if you are thinking about getting it. Then do it.

Comfortable!

I have been wearing Sitka since it started and have a lot and this may be my favorite shirt by far. Extremely comfortable and unlike older Sitka than ran a little in the small size this was sized well. Maybe even run a tad big which is perfect.

Love it already!

Wore it my first time on a spring turkey hunt in the Blue Ridge mountains of VA. . got to almost 80° during the day. Not only did I stay cool, I did not have one tick nor mosquito. . and they are definitely out! Absolutely worth the money. I know they will be especially during our September early antlerless

Spring turkey hunting essential

In the northeast tics are everywhere and lime disease is a real concern. I never go into the woods without bug protection. The guard collection helps me stay focused on my game and not worry as much about debilitating tic born diseases.

The equinox guard hoodie is

The equinox guard hoodie is an excellent piece of hunting clothing. It’s great for warm weather hunting and it also works well as a base layer for colder weather. But its best feature is its insect repellant feature, which works great. As far as sizing, I am between a medium and large size and the medium works well for me.

Love this hoodie. Worn already multiple times in the woods in Florida. Ticks and no see ums are already out here and this makes it easy. No bites at all. I use permethrin on my socks and pants but needed something light weight with long sleeves. 5’11 190 and the large fits perfectly.

Good jacket, but prefer the old mountain jacket

Overall, I really like the seal in the stretch of this new jacket, although I really wish they would not have done away with the old one. This jacket is a little bit more stretchy and thinner and if you’re only wearing it alone without a backpack, which I’m assuming most people are going to be doing a lot of the time. The wind goes right through that back panel. I understand those meant for breathability with a backpack on, but then when you take it off, your back is exposed. I think it’s just trying to do too many things with one jacket. With that said, I do really like my jacket. Just wanted to give an honest review.

Had good luck running my whole equinox set on opening day for turkey. The equinox set plus a little deet kept me totally free from bugs on the hike in through brush and while sitting. As a bonus this set has been really tough against briars too.

Love This Top

I'm 5'9 175lbs and medium fits me well. I wore it in my backyard when the thermacel was taking too long to work. Kept mosquitoes off of me. And it works great for early season here in Texas. I was a bigger a person at one point and got an XL but even that was big so in remembering that I went with 1 size smaller than I normally like, which is large. Got a medium and no complaints.
