Guard LT Pant Reviews

Turkey hunting

Best turkey hunting pants

Perfect for spring gobblers

Perfect for spring gobblers

All Sitka gear is top notch.

These and the guard pros are some of the most versatile work, hunt, or hiking pants on the market. I have tons of high end brand name gear and these are my favorite.

Great lightweight pant

Pants are very nice and comfortable. The insect shield works amazing. I just wish the pants had some more pockets.

Excellent light weight pant

I used these pants for warm weather turkey hunting and they worked great. Only thing to improve would be a zippered side pocket. Loved the ankle cuff to keep the ticks out!

Love them

Light and easy wear during spring turkey hunting……great for long sits helping to keep the insects away. Highly recommend

Peace of mind - light weight and comfortable

I picked up a pair of these for a recent work trip to an area with lots of ticks. They look nice enough to wear in a professional setting but provide the peace of mind to reduce the threat of tick-born illnesses. I doused mine with permethrin and breathed easy.

Guard LT pant

Fits as described, perfect pants for everyday wear. Great for outdoor activities even in warmer weather.

Guard LT Pant

First impression after trying on, this meets the same quality that I have come to expect from my SITKA gear. They run a little tighter than my other pairs of hunting pants. I would have probably ordered a size bigger. Not a huge issue, just makes loading the pockets harder.

Great fit.

Great fit.

Awesome produce

The pants are thin so maybe early season it won’t be to hot to wear

Light weight but still durable

Really impressed with these pants. True to size. They breath well but also hold up to whatever you want to get into.

Guard LT Pants

Great pants for warm days. Size 34 is a little big.

They are great!

They are great!

Love it

Awesome they fit great

No Critters

I watched the mosquitos fly around me but refused to land because of these pants and the matching shirt. No ticks this time around either. 5’ 9” 160 lbs. Perfect fit

Light and Comfortable

I’m looking forward to bow hunting this year where the mosquitoes won’t bother me

Guard LT Pant

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.

OTC Socks? THESE ARE NOT FOR YOU.

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.

Love these

They are a bit snug, very thin, super comfortable, most importantly kept the ticks off. I’m 5’6, 190lbs, 32” inseem. I got the 36 regular.

Guard lt pant

Pants are amazing good for when it’s hot out

Kind of stiff and loud

Kind of stiff and loud

Not as good

I have a pair of the original ones. Those are great. The fabric and fit is quite different. They’re much hotter and less flexible. Quality feels much lesser. Pockets are different too and less functional. I would not buy again.

Guard hoodie and pants

Great quality stretchy material but durable! Can’t wait to wear it in early season in Louisiana

Great light weight bug proof pants!

Very lightweight, comfortable stretchy bugproof pants. Extremely tight knit, but yet still breathable. I love mine!

Best tracksuit, worst hunting pants

If you are looking for a snug pair of overpriced tracksuit pants with a dope camo pattern, these bad Larry’s are the pants for you. If you reminisce the sound of a busy mall on an early Saturday morning consisting of grandparents on a brisk walk in their finest tracksuit, then you will feel right at home. These don’t fit well, and are so loud they aren’t usable. Unfortunately, I already took the tags off and tried to use them, so I can’t return them. I definitely won’t spend anymore money here.

Very pleased

I just returned from a campout where everyone seemed to get ticks but me. I used a little bit of DEET on my shoes but I otherwise relied on these pants plus socks from InsectShield. My only, tiny complaint is that they don't have a left rear pocket. Outdoor wear needs as many pockets as possible.

Great pant

These pants actually fit like normal pants, legs are not super baggy. The material is thin and breathable. I bought the other gaurd pants prior but they were baggy and thicker which for an insect material we will be wearing them in hot weather. These are the better of the 2 for comfort

Excellent pants. Fit is perfect

Excellent pants. Fit is perfect true to size, very comfortable. Bug protection is awesome.

Great Product

I don’t know how I fished without these pants and Hoodie!! Amazing!! Now I can focus on fishing

The loudest pair of pants

These are, bar none, the loudest pair of pants I have ever owned. If you wanna wade through the woods replicating the sounds of the late 80’s sound of grandparents wearing track suits while speed walking the mall then these are the pants for you.

Durability:Silence

Used for Spring Turkey hunting in S. Texas, brush busting was required to get to secret spot. Held up better than equinox guard hoodie while busting through Cedar and some viney entanglements. They were quite for the durability. My steps were louder than my leg “swoosh”. Kept me mostly dry and cool, it has been 70-90 and humid. Would recommend👍

Immaculate

Comfortable and fits as advertised

Fits great

Fits perfect

Guard LT Pant

One of the best/most comfortable hunting pant I’ve worn. Great for warm conditions.

Good pants

I have worn these pants a couple times and they are very comfortable. The only two issues I have are the zipper is a little short, could be longer. I am a 33 waist so I ordered a 34. The 34 is loose around the waist and causes the waist band to bunch up. The pant is a great fit everywhere else so I am keeping them. I have done a couple hikes around my local outdoor archery range and had zero issues.

Insect proof

I am quite pleased with the look , feel and protection offered by these trousers

Great Pants

Great for hiking and shed hunting

Great pants lightweight and comfortable

Love these pants they are light weight and very comfortable to wear abd hunt in. Abd they keep the ticks away due to the treatment impregnated into the pants.

Great spring and fall pant.

I use these for turkey hunting and I love the protection along with not being too hot.

Great

Fit well

Good pants. Trim fit. Slick

Good pants. Trim fit. Slick design.

Not like the original

These are only a lite version of the new pro pant. They are not better for hot weather when compared to the original. This version eliminates the side zip vents and the slash pockets. This unfortunately falls short of being better than the original or comparable. The fit is the same

Haven't worn them in the

Haven't worn them in the field yet, but they fit nice.

Nice, but. . .

Pants are ok thin and light that's the good part. But I may send them back due to the fit. Around the waist is good but if you have larger quads they become form fitting and turn into skinny jeans.

Nice fit

It's a nice fit but I haven't tested the bug detergent abilities yet.

Guard LT pant

Love the pant perfect for my summer turkey hunt and fit perfectly

Guard LT Pant

Very light weight. Can’t wait until turkey season to put them to the real test!
