Equinox Guard Hoody
You’re already familiar with the Core Lightweight Hoody. Drawing from these roots, Sitka has developed the purpose-built Equinox Guard Hoody. This piece was designed for one thing: to keep the bugs away. By limiting your skin exposure and utilizing tight-knit fabric with woven-in Insect Shield, Sitka has achieved the ultimate in bug protection, without sacrificing comfort or moisture-wicking ability. This piece features the same mesh facemask that the Core Lightweight Hoody has and a long tail to allow plenty of room to tuck into your pants to protect from ticks and chiggers. Designed specifically for the turkey hunter, this piece is a must-have for any shed hunter, fisherman, or early season whitetail hunter that needs to focus on their objective without the distraction of insects.
Equinox Guard Hoody Feature/Benefits:
- Ultra-lightweight, breathable, tightly knit stretch fabric helps prevent against bites
- Insect Shield® repels mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, chiggers and midges (no-see-ums)
- Breathable mesh facemask deploys quickly and doesn’t obstruct vision
- Long tail is designed to be tucked into pants for maximum chigger/tick protection

- Total weight: 6.5 oz.
Good for Turkey Season and Elk. Product fits true to size for me im 5' 10" and 235lb
First off I called and talked to someone on the phone to make sure inventory was live on the website (this hoodie was out of stock everywhere I looked) and I forget how refreshing it is talking to an actual person and not a random 1800 number. Now -- the hoodie itself is awesome we hunt coyotes in the summer in areas with really high grass and LOTS of ticks normally by now I would have pulled 4-5 off me after a night out. So far since going to the Equinox pant/hoody/gloves I've had zero.
