I think it's more difficult than that.

He would have to take off the gloves before Rachtzah and have them of
long enough to necessitate a 2nd netilas yadayim. If his hands are
definitely still tahor from the first washing, how could he make a
berakhah on the 2nd?

See AhS OC 158:13
<https://www.sefaria.org/Arukh_HaShulchan%2C_Orach_Chaim.158.13>,
where RYME writes that this question relies on whether we say netilas
yadayim requires kavanah (see 159), the SA and Rama hold it does not,
and therefore no berakhah. And even if the question were still open --
safeiq berakhos lehaqeil anyway.

Tir'u baTov!
