So the rain season has definitely hit the Pacific Northwest and I actually enjoy playing in the rain (as long as it is not a downpour).  I found using the rain gloves alone caused my hands to get saturated so I decided to remedy this with putting a pair of vinyl (surgical) gloves on first. Is this legal? Tried to find in the ROG but have not located it. Figured there was someone on the forum with better expertise. Thanks. T

Your hands will perspire and it will be worse than before. Just take them off between shots.

^ This. Surgical GoreTex gloves are expensive.

Good points by the others. To answer your question, legal.

Try the rain gloves that are supposed to BE WET to use. They work well for me. However in cold conditions that might not be optimal :)
