[url=http://motorbikewriter.com/motorcycle-gear-fails-abrasion-tests/]This is an interesting piece quoting research that a great deal of the motorcycle safety clothing sold in Australia isn't up to much. Unfortunately it doesn't tell us which gear is good, but I'll leave the discussion about that to the sceptics in the comments section of the article.
I agree with the researcher that a trustworthy rating system for helmets and gear would be a good thing for consumers. After all, the only way you're going to find out if your kit is up to it is when you have to test it. It might be a bit late then.
