In a word: yes. When you're out enjoying a fun ride on your ATV or motocross bike, you will want to protect your arms and torso. Jackets are not only protection from slapping branches and flying debris hitting your arms when you ride your ATV or motocross bike, they are also fantastic protection against the elements. In the summer, wear a lighter weight jacket to help protect yourself from the harmful rays of the sun.
If you do a lot of climbing with your ATV, you will want to take a jacket along for protection from the elements as the higher you go, the cooler it can get and getting cold causes fatigue which can make you a less alert rider.
A rock can feel like a small dagger if it hits your arm traveling at a high velocity. A bug can feel like a projectile if you're moving at a decent rate of speed when it hits you. If you're wearing even a lightweight jacket, chances are you'll barely feel it if you feel it at all. Raceway has a huge selection of jackets that come with matching jerseys and pants if you're looking to create an entire look for yourself. There are also helmets that coordinate with all the riding gear.
