TIG gloves, work gloves any preferences?

[GriffithMetal]

I usually work without gloves except when I'm welding. I usually destroy the regular kidskin TIG gloves pretty quick. I bought some Torchwear gloves and they were great until I destroyed them. It looks like the mechanix brand has a copy that is the same price. I am curious if anyone has found something like the Torchwear glove that can be used for TIG and for general fabwork. I am using these Black Stallion Xtreme gloves from Airgas. They fit well but the top fabric which is supposed to be flame resistant just burns away when I touch them to hot metal.
