Men's Equinox Guard Pants, by Sitka – Lightweight, Insect-Repellent Pants for Hot-Weather Hunts

The Men’s Equinox Guard Pants by Sitka are built for the early-season hunter who needs lightweight comfort, full-leg protection, and reliable defense against insects and UV exposure. Designed for warm, buggy environments, these pants offer stealth, durability, and scientifically tested protection without compromising mobility or breathability.

Key Features and Benefits:

• • Insect Shield® Technology

EPA-registered permethrin treatment is bonded to the fabric to repel ticks, mosquitoes, ants, flies, and chiggers—providing lasting protection without sprays or lotions.

• • UPF 50+ Sun Protection

Guards your skin against harmful UV rays, ideal for exposed field edges and open-country stalking in sunny, southern climates.

• • Airy, Lightweight Fabric

Made with a breathable, stretch-woven polyester blend that promotes airflow and dries quickly, even in high humidity.

• • Tapered Fit with Internal Gaiter Cuff

Streamlined legs reduce snagging and noise, while built-in internal cuffs create a seal around boots to help keep insects out.

• • Low-Profile Cargo Pockets

Dual thigh pockets provide secure, streamlined storage for essentials like tags, calls, or a wind checker, without adding bulk.

• • Articulated Knees and Gusseted Crotch

Allows natural movement during stalking, climbing, or kneeling with enhanced comfort and range of motion.

Polygiene® treatment helps control scent by inhibiting the growth of odor-causing bacteria—ideal for close-range hunts.
