Gloves:

The soft white cotton ones are often sold in places like Eckersleys (art & craft suppliers) for handling fine artworks or photographs without leaving fingerprints. Much cooler than leather in summer, however the white cotton will let a lot of UV through.

I wear a black balaclava and synthetic gloves for paragliding - for UV protection on long flights - after a bit of hunting around I found them in a ski shop in Kent St, Sydney. I have two sets - a thin set for summer made from a knitted polyester which is light enough to be tolerable in summer, and another thick set for winter.
