The Sitka Gear Equinox Guard Hoody represents the ultimate fusion of comfort and insect protection for the outdoors. Specially designed for hot, bug-infested environments, this hoody is a breakthrough in preventing unpleasant contact with mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, and other pests without the drawbacks of bulkiness, excessive heat, or the use of DEET.

This innovative fabric is complemented by Insect Shield technology, which is built into the garment for its lifetime, offering a powerful barrier against a wide range of insects, including mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, chiggers, and midges (no-see-ums), without the need for reapplication.

Key features include:
