I you are worried about weight you could use ceramic sleeves. McMaster Carr:

Silica Sleeving

     Silica withstands even higher temperatures than fiberglass. Cut with scissors.
     2000°  F Silica Sleeving— Has 96% silica content. Braided sleeving is coated to aid in installation; the coating then decomposes when used in high-temperature applications. Resists acids, grease, alcohol, solvents, and petroleum. Temperature range is -100° to +2000°  F. Wall thickness is 0.060". Color is white.
     2300°  F Silica Sleeving— With 98% silica content, this braided packing is great for high-temperature applications. Resists alkalies, water, detergents, petroleum, UV, flame, and salt. Maximum temperature is 2300°  F. Not rated for low-end temperature. Wall thickness is 0.125". Color is white.
     To Order: Please select from available lengths of 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 ft. Maximum continuous length is 50 ft.
