Anybody use them? Looking to get some new pants and a shirt.
Way over priced for some camo print that looks ridiculous
I own a pair of the equinox pants they are well made. Yes overpriced when you pay full price. I have a friend who is a state trooper and Sitka will send him 40% off codes for friends and family a few times a year I use them to buy my Sitka gear. I own the hoodie as well super light will rip pretty easily if it gets caught on something. I do like the new equinox cover camo pattern.
I wear Sitka waterfowl and turkey. They are expensive but worth it in my opinion.
I have the Mountain pants that I wear spring and fall. I really like them.
I really like the equinox hoodie in waterfowl timber with built in face mask. It is very light for those busy hot spring days. The pants are ok but need better pockets. The equinox line is pretreated for ticks, so far so good!
i have them and loves the pant and hoodie, the subalpine camo blends in great, way better that the stick and limbs patterns ,

Anybody that says this has either never worn any sitka gear or cant afford it. I have a lot of sitka clothing in the whitetail and waterfowl line. It is absolutely the best camo that money can buy. You dont have to pay full price like was mentioned earlier.
My buddy has a pair of the Equinox pants in subalpine camo. He likes them a lot, and it is amazing how the pattern disappears in a wide variety of prairie state spring settings!
Have a few items, quality and function are excellent. Can be purchased at reasonable prices if you are patient. Will be trying the turkey vest this coming spring.
The eqiunox hoodie and pants are great with the anti bug coating. No ticks and helps with protecting you from sqeeters, they can't bite through it! Worth it
Great company. Quality products, fit well, true to size....
I am selling an equinox guard set like new for pretty deep discount if anyone wants to try it out.

This is the first good reason stated that would convince me personally to buy any of the more expensive brands of outdoor clothing. Conversely, however, I don't often hunt where I am concerned about biting insects...or even with the need for rain gear...so I have no need to invest in more expensive products designed for those functions.
The point being that there are good reasons...and bad ones...to buy any outdoor product. My advice, simply stated, is to buy stuff based on your needs for where you hunt. On the other hand, of course, any of us can spend our money any way we want to.
Again, for me personally, expensive camo clothing, regardless of its custom fit, camo pattern, or perceived durability, is not on my list. I wear $10 shirts and $20 pants where I hunt because they work just fine here. For sure, though, I have hunted a few other places where I have come to realize why some folks buy the more expensive stuff...and wish I had it at that particular moment... ;D :)

100% I might add it also has some antimocrobial coating so it won't stink or get soiled. I honestly don't wash it the entire spring season. This justified the cost for me. Haven't had a tick on me since I bought it and we get them thick

If you are interested my brother has a bunch he is selling for a decent price. Also has the matching turkey vest
Love my Sitka, customer since 2011 and have at least one jacket from that time that I still use.
It's a rare case of "you get what you pay for" in today's consumer market.
Called in a hen wearing subalpine to 10 feet. She left and I called her back to 6 feet.. staring at me back and forth for a minute then slowly walked off.
So.... There's that
I use a combo of Sitka/Kuiu/FL for most of my hunting... but if I was only using it for turkey I would not have bought it. I don't think the price is justified for turkey season, it is usually milder weather and not necessary.
I get a lot more mileage out of it for western hunts where you're hiking long miles and not changing clothes for a week straight, or whitetail hunts in extreme cold. Merino is amazing for odor control and the tech fabrics generally perform better while being lighter, more breathable, and staying drier than cheaper fleece or cotton.
That said, turkey hunting is pretty easy clothing-wise and doesn't really require much fanciness. If I was regularly camping multiple days out west for Merriam's in mountainous areas still holding snow during the spring gobbler season, I would consider it. Or, if you hunt multiple seasons for other species, it's worth it. But generally it's pretty easy to find less expensive stuff that will keep you comfortable for turkey.
I just got a pair of pants and an Equinox guard hoodie in the new cover pattern. Looks to be a great pattern for the areas I hunt around home.
As long as you sit still the Sitka brand will work just as well as any other camo brand on the market. No better no worse.
