I use milking gloves. Nitril, long cuff and pretty tough
Are you sure they were nitriles he gave you and not latex ? ...The latex disposables do tear very easily but you usually have to be pretty brutal with nitriles to make them tear ... they are sold for mechanics to use when repairing vehicles so they have to be pretty tough. I wear them over the top of my marigolds as its saves a lot of cleaning - even if they do get a bit ripped if you get them well stuck with propolis. I also find that the additional layer over the marigolds stops any chance of a sting going through (not that I get too many stings from my bees but they do have the occasional 'off day' and then I'm glad of the extra layer).

Lol Pete....have heard this so often..............it does have SOME truth to it but we get on fine if we only have dark things to wear.
Now black woolly gloves would be a 'helpful' suggestion.....
Might that suggest that what you are buying is not fit for purpose?
