SITKA Men's Equinox Guard Lightweight Hunting Hoody

The Equinox Guard Collection is an extremely lightweight set of gear designed to decrease bug bites while remaining durable enough for the wild. To achieve this, the company partnered with a third-party lab to test various fabrics against their specific criteria.

By releasing mosquitoes into controlled environments with "heated blood memory textiles," they were able to accurately measure how many mosquitoes could feed through the test fabrics. After multiple rounds of testing, they found a solution that drastically reduced the number of bites. Paired with permethrin infused directly into the garment, the Equinox Guard Collection provides an extremely lightweight system that keeps the wearer comfortable and protected.

The key features of the collection include:

NO BITES: Ultra-lightweight, breathable, tightly knit stretch fabric prevents bites. The hoody, pants, and gloves work together to provide head-to-toe protection.

DESIGNED FOR HUNTERS: The hoody has a long tail that can be tucked into pants for additional insulation. The gloves have longer cuffs for better protection, and the pants have a dedicated knife pocket.

DURABILITY: Unlike bulky, hot solutions that include DEET or release odors, the Equinox Guard Collection utilizes mechanical properties to prevent contact with bugs.
