Great carry-on bag, very pleased with the design features that differ from all the other options out there. Specifically the top pocket for quick access to travel documents, as well as the wheel design being inset into the bag rather than extended out below the bag which is just a loss of packing space on the overall size dimensions.
Seems to be very high quality material, but runs smaller in the waist than all other Sitka pants I have purchased. I normally wear a 34 in Sitka, and would definitely need a 36.
This vest is an awesome addition to my wardrobe. Fits in for both a professional setting and in the field when I need that extra little bit of coverage and warmth.
I'm very happy with the Ranger! Wore the Ranger mid-day after an extensive morning hike in the turkey woods. Nice to let my boots air out and give my feet a break. Highly recommend.
I bought these for my wife. The gloves are well-made and comfortable. They don’t offer a lot of protection, so I would consider them early season only.
I originally bought this jacket and bibs for a King Eider hunt in Greenland. Although it was 20 degrees with waves splashing in our faces the whole time, I remained warm and comfortable. Only when we would relocate I would go into the cabin and would quickly dry off. The jacket simply repels cold and water. Absolutely amazing jacket. The bibs are the same quality. This jacket and bib combo is a new late season deer hunt must.

This is one of my favorite pieces for hunting and everyday wear. But man they are not as durable anymore. You look at them wrong and they'll develop snags and fray's.
I’ve also been running the Sitka Equinox Hoodie and gloves alongside the Guard LT Pants, and they’ve been just as impressive.
The biggest standout again—bug protection. No mosquitoes, no ticks, no biting flies getting through. That alone makes a huge difference when you’re hunting in warmer conditions, whether that was down in Florida or back here in Ohio.
Both the hoodie and gloves are lightweight and breathable, so you’re not overheating, even when temps start climbing. They’re comfortable enough to wear all day, and they don’t restrict movement at all—everything just works the way it should in the field.
Between the pants, hoodie, and gloves, it’s a system that really shines for spring and warm-weather hunts. Keeps you protected, keeps you comfortable, and lets you stay focused on the hunt instead of constantly dealing with bugs.
I’ve had the chance to run the Guard LT Pants from Sitka on a turkey hunt down in Florida and again in Ohio, and I’ve got to say—they’ve seriously impressed me.
First thing that stood out was the insect protection. Between both hunts, I didn’t deal with ticks, bugs, or anything getting through to my skin or base layers, which is a huge win, especially in warmer, high-pressure environments.
The fit is spot on—comfortable without being bulky—and they move really well whether you’re sitting, crawling, or covering ground. They’re lightweight, breathable, and ideal for spring conditions or any warm-weather hunt where you still need protection without overheating.
Overall, they just perform. Comfortable, functional, and built for exactly what they’re intended to do. Definitely a solid piece of gear for anyone chasing birds or hunting in bug-heavy areas.
Overall I really like these pants. Purchased to keep the spring tics off of me for a sping bear hunt in Montana. Ive worn them this spring in Wisconsin and have had no tics on me. When Ive worn other pants Ive had 2 to 3 tics when in the tall grass. I wish they had additional cargo pockets or a phone pocket but its not a deal breaker.
Only wear on the coldest days as this thing will burn you up!!! Sat all day in sub-freezing temps and stayed toasty all day. You get what you pay for and my Sitka Fanatic and Stratos sets are absolutely phenomenal!
Bought these for casual wear, escpecially on wet days, and really like the fit and finish on these shoes. I personally wouldn't wear them hunting but they will definitely keep your feet dry on rainy days. Comfortable but a little awkward to put on at first with the tight neoprene at the top. Got that figured out pretty quickly though!
Very comfortable and lightweight. So far the durability is good but time will tell. I primarily use these for turkey hunting so in a couple of more seasons, I will know more.
Caught this on sale this past season. This thing is incredible, it’s an item I have to put on once I get settled in my stand because it’s so warm. Great job Sitka
Overall this is great, its lightweight and works as it should. It fits true to size. My one and only complaint is that the internal leg gaiters were changed in a bad way. They were shortened to barely above the ankle. This was done due to them being a hot weather pant and the presumption that people do not wear over the calf socks with their boots year round. Well I do. These are designed to accommodate extremely short socks. The downside is that I have fold down my everyday socks in order to use the internal leg gaiters. If the leg gaiters were left alone to match the Equinox Guard, they would still work for my situation, and that would not effect anyone who decides to wear shorter boots/shorter socks. They could still use the pants as intended. 6 additinal inches of extremely lightweight leg gaiters would not generate too much heat or be cumbersome to anyone wearing short socks. If you're like me and wear over the calf socks all year, these pants are not for you. They have baby-sized internal leg gaiters that do not accommodate tall socks. I would say it is a design flaw because full length internal leg gaiters would not change the purpose, fit, or function of the pants. The re-designing of the leg gaiters however, does make them unusable to us tall sock-wearing people.
