Building on what they have just achieved with the Equinox Guard Hoody, Sitka developed the Equinox Guard Pant with the same goal in mind: 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. The Equinox Guard Pant features mesh-backed hip vents, a purpose-built, reinforced knife pocket, and frontal cargo pockets that double as mesh-backed vents as well. Sitka has also included a tuckable gaiter, that, once tucked into your socks, won’t allow ticks and chiggers to crawl up your legs while you are stomping around in the bush. 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.
