I'm tempted to try these.

My skin is really sensitive to the sun, to the point where I break out in a itchy rash if I don't really apply sunscreen well. It is worst on the forearms and hands.

Anyone tried them?

Those are really cute but why not just wear long sleeves? I never wear short sleeves, even in the summer. I have been known to wear a coolibar legionnaire's hat that can be wrapped around your face to protect yourself from the sun when you drive. I have had people give me the weirdest looks. But I make a religion out of sun avoidance :) I would totally get these sleeves if your wardrobe is mostly short sleeved stuff

In seattle I do a lot of layering of short sleeves with hoodies, so you're right, I already have a lot of short sleeves, and my long sleeves are not spf 50, they're just knit. When I walk on warmer days I need some sun protection that is not hot.
