"I love my fingerless sun gloves from Coolibar. Gave me a great glove tan last summer. I like the grip so I use them all year around when using trekking poles. Really breathable and UPF 50 protection. Rika (aka Double Sprainbow)" Are they kind of like biking gloves? The pads on biking gloves would be good for gripping trekking poles. Dwane
