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.

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 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

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.

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.
