Roleigh,
In the Wristop thread you mention
"…I wear solar fingerless gloves…"
Two pages of google results didn't pick it out. I did see the Coolibar's but the open palm seems self defeating for pole use.
What brand and from where?
Thanks

I use Mangrove fingerless sungloves when fly fishing in high sun intense areas. On my scale size L weighs 1 ounce, size M weighs 0.8 ounces and cost ~$15. You can find them probably at any fly shop. Over in Lawrence, KS Yagers has them for sale online. See: http://www.yagersflies.com/magampasu.html
I believe both Patagonia and REI have fingerless gloves for sunblock use. Have a look.
I have a link and picture of the gloves in my gear list in my profile page. They'd be in the bottom section where it's weighing stuff/itemizing stuff worn on the body.
the link is here — it is from REI:

Check out the patagonia sun glove. They look to be better made.
REI has the Patagonia Sun Glove and looking at the photo, it appears the glove does not cover the wrist part of the arm where one wears a watch (which is the same spot the hiking pole strap hits the arm). I don't wear a watch while hiking and like the hiking pole strap to not hit my skin, but rather the "skirt" of the solar glove — it makes my wrist feel better.
