    I can't afford a new wetsuit either.

    If need be, I will wear my long sleeved rash guard under my sleeveless shortie.

    I have two Xterra wetsuits, long sleeved. We purchased both on ebay and got great deals on both. As far as the claustophobia, I got over mine with practice. If you look at my posts from last April, I had a really hard time at first, but I stuck with it.

    I think the sleeves do make me a lot faster.

    See, the clastophobic feeling I got was from the chest barrel of the wetsuit squeezing me. It made me feel like I couldn't breathe. That I had to get over. To me, the arms didn't play into the feeling.
