Do you go out riding in the cold? If you do, an ATV jacket is essential. You can’t be comfortable if you’re not warm, and that can put a damper on any ride. There are a lot of options when it comes to a good riding jacket, but it’s important to find one that best suits your needs.
One of the first things to consider is what temperatures you’ll be riding in with your jacket. Do you need something for the brisk fall weather? Or do you need a jacket that can handle the bitter cold of the middle of winter? Not all ATV jackets have the same level of warmth, and you don’t want to end up with something that won’t keep the chills out or that will heat you up too much.
It’s best if you can find something weather resistant. Waterproof is even better. You never know when you might get caught in the rain while out on the trails, and you’ll appreciate something that keeps the water out. Being wet on a cold day is no fun, and even an extra-warm jacket won’t cut it if the water seeps right through to you.
You’ve got to be on guard against water getting in, but you’ve also got to find a way to get water out – sweat. A little sweat can soak poorly designed gear and quickly become uncomfortable. A good jacket is breathable. If you spend a lot of time on your quad in the cold, you might even want to consider investing in a jacket that uses Gore-Tex or a similar material. This allows water out (sweat) without allowing water in (rain or other precipitation).
Finally, there are other things that you might find important, like color options or pocket locations.

The jacket has amazing airflow. I live in the desert Southwest and it is a great choice. Typical KLIM quality. The biggest improvement is the airflow on and under my arms. Prior jacket had an arm vent that was not a big help. I may, or may not, use a hydration bladder this this as I don't want to block any airflow out the back. We'll see. Sizing from the KLIM chart was good. I have room underneath to add something for an early morning ride.

MSR gear is the best value for the money there is.

Pricey but worth it. Comfortable and works well with a silky and a light fleece for cooler. Vents well for warm weather. Nice pockets and fit. Couldn't be happier!

The size/fit rating below is for the new style jacket as I believe it fits smaller than than normal. I have an older version of this jacket that fit large according to the reviews and that is accurate. The old version in a large is perfect for my 6'2" tall, 205lb, 36" waist, 44-45" chest body. I can easily fit a compression suit underneath with room to spare for a puffy. The new size large is smaller. I especially notice it being short in the arm length and tight around my waist. If I were to buy the new version of this jacket I would have to size up to an x-large. I bought the large as a gift for someone and it will fit him perfectly.

Just showed up fed ex. Haven't ridden with this jacket yet, but it's getting 5 stars for no reason other than it HAS A 2-Way front flat YKK zipper!!! None of the other manufacturers offer 2-way front zipper and spec Coil zippers that are a joke when fouled with mud. That's a result of product managers that spec these jackets, but probably never actually use them, or maybe don't even get a sample to hang in their office cube. I'm only 185/6ft but ordered the largest size XXL. Fit a bit loose but will fit fine over body armor.
