Sitka is well - known for creating hunting clothing that offers moisture - wicking and temperature - controlled comfort. Their new fabric in these pants protects you from insects like mosquitoes, chiggers, and ticks in three ways: by minimizing skin exposure, using a bite - reducing fabric, and featuring built - in Insect Shield®. The 50247 - PB pants are made of a lightweight and breathable fabric with a raised internal grid pattern for maximum airflow. The scent - free Insect Shield® repels a variety of bugs including mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, chiggers, and midges. Internal leg gaiters keep ticks and chiggers away when worn under socks. Two YKK® zippered side leg vents with mesh gussets release heat during fast movement. There are front leg YKK® zip pockets for ventilation and storage, a dedicated knife pocket, and hidden suspender attachment points. They offer UPF 50+ protection and are treated with Polygiene® Odor Control Technology. Pair them with the Equinox Guard Hoody and Glove for full - body insect protection. Weighing only 13.5 oz, these pants will truly enhance your hunting experience. Come and try SITKA gear to transform your hunting in any environment.
How to use: Put on the pants like regular ones and make sure the internal leg gaiters are worn under your socks for better protection against ticks and chiggers. You can adjust the suspenders using the hidden attachment points if needed. When you're moving fast and feeling hot, unzip the side leg vents to let the heat out. The front leg zip pockets are great for storing small items or improving ventilation. Pair these pants with the Equinox Guard Hoody and Glove for full - body insect protection. Note: Avoid sharp objects that could damage the fabric. If the pants get dirty, follow the care instructions on the label. Maintenance: Wash the pants according to the label's guidance. It's best to store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. Make sure the Insect Shield® treatment is effective by following the manufacturer's advice on re - treating if necessary.
