Default Gloves for rain ?

As most players, I have severe problems with my backhand grip when playing in rainy weather. It does not matter if I have numerous towels, golf king size umbrella, and so on. I simply feel unsecure about my grip, and tend to release way too early. I often end up driving with forehand instead.

I have not found any rule that says you can't use a golf glove, to enhance the grip.

My questions are then:

-Is it OK to use a rain glove for golf ?
-If so, have you guys tried any that you can recommend? FootJoy have their rain gloves, and Fit39 have one that is fit very tight round your palm. I think the upside with better grip might be better than the downside with a slight loss of feel.

But, since I have not tried it yet, what's your advice?
(Besides keeping discs dry of course... :-) )
