I use sun block and would rather use gloves, if I could find what I want.
Sun block that's waterproof gets all over my hands and ruins my grip.
I'd also rather use a glove that a chemical - my skin is sensitive to 
various chemicals (sun block plus DEET means an allergic reaction).
Some sun blocks cause a rash on me.

I want a very light glove, preferably white and highly breathable with
an open palm and lower fingers.  It probably exists, just not sold locally.
