go to Cabela's online. they have very nice, cool, long sleeve shirts that are vented and they are UV resistant, so they protect you from the sun.

In So Cal I used to ride in a white long sleeved men's
dress shirt (took ones my husband was throwing away).
The collar keeps the sun off your neck & the fabric is
stiff enough to stand away from the body rather than
clinging (especially as my husband is literally about
twice my size).

I always ride in gloves. I like the cheapy stretch
ones. They're thin & wear out every couple months,
but are cheap enough that I consider them disposable.
