Sitka Turkey Gear Guard Pants are designed for warm weather hunts, and utilize special manufacturing techniques and fabric treatments to keep you cool and to keep the bugs off of you. The fabric was manufactured in conjunction with Snell Scientifics to create a martial that was lightweight and reduced the likelihood of mosquito bites. This special fabric was then treated with Insect Shield protection, which repels mosquitos, ticks, ants, chiggers, and other nuisance insects.
