Best gloves I've had were UFO from Groove (last me about 2 -3 years and were comfy too).  Worst were 661 which wore out in 3 rides (holes in several of the fingers and I didn't crash in em).

Brand-X body armour from these guys offers excellent value for money.

Can rate the 661 pressure suit

Gloves I use some cheap ones I bought fron decathalon...think its there own brand but offer good protection on your palm's, I had a pair of 661 gloves when I rode MTB.....crap they fell apart after about 60-70 miles.... :tickedoff:

The way I look at it with regards to any body protection or body armour is its not going to stop the breaks and bumps it just makes them hurt a little bit less  :D come monday morning when your getting up for work  :daumenhoch:
