So I am just starting to get into downhill and have decided to buy a jersey. I will be using elbow/arm pads so I am not sure if I should get a short or long sleeve jersey. Any reccomendations?
good jersey for downhill

- Start date
I prefer long sleeves, less flapping, more dust/mud protection.
I use short sleve.
my buddy and i were just debating this fit over the body armor issue...

body armor and a cut off mtb shirt over it
www.mxsouth.com has cheap jerseys if you don't mind going too moto. personally i go for long sleeves to help protect/keep the pads in place.

I wear white t-shirts, with the sleeves cut off for that sexy white-trash wifebeater look the ladies love, with a witty slogan applied through diligent use of a sharpie.

Short sleeve if it's uber hot. I use my Fox short sleeve jersey over my regular body armor and it works fine and dandy. I'll get pissed though if it rips or anything as it was like $50 (but it's an XC style jersey).
Now everything else, long sleeve for sure. I've seen sales for as low as $19 for Azonic/Oneil jersey's which are the same design. I have not spent more than $20 on a jersey. I can't justify it. You crash a few times and drag your arms and they will tear. Why buy a $50+ dollar jersey, tear it, and be out $50+??? Just get the el cheapo moto ones for $20. On ebay I've seen Fox and every other brand name jersey go for cheap as well as pricepoint.com and MX stores.
I just feel better with long sleeves. Plus it gives your body armor one more layer of protection from being chewed up by rocks/tress/whatever etc...
There are tons of good places to get jerseys, as most DH/FR companies sell some with their logo on them. Off hand, I can think of Go-Ride, Marzocchi, Transcend, Roach/Race Face, Sombrio, and a couple of others. If you're ready to move to Spam City, though, read on!

Full open mesh, so they breathe like a mofo on hot summer chair lift rides. Mention you saw it here and we'll knock off $10 when we process the order.

I wear a tattered Venom (Spiderman Venom, not the metal band) t-shirt with the sleeves cut off.
