Using the Sitka Men's Equinox Guard Hoody is a breeze. Just put it on like you would any regular hoody. For extra protection against chiggers and ticks, tuck the long tail into your pants. The breathable mesh facemask can be quickly deployed when you're in an area with lots of insects. When it comes to maintenance, follow the care instructions on the label. Generally, a gentle machine wash is fine. Since it's treated with Insect Shield®, there's no need to re - apply insect - repelling substances. However, avoid using harsh detergents as they might affect the effectiveness of the Polygiene® Odor Control Technology and the Insect Shield®. Also, store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
