I can't help you on the boots, as I have not ever used that brand, but the gloves I have used. I prefer the SSG all-weather gloves to the grippy ones like you've linked to. While they were comfortable and cool for summer riding, both kinds didn't last long for me. They had holes in them within a few months of riding and just wore out rather more quickly than I expected. So I've never had a pair of SSG gloves last me more than about a year before I had to toss them, even with repairing holes a couple times. I wouldn't expect them to last much longer than that. There's a reason they're so cheap.
Leather gloves tend to hold up better for a few years of use if you take good care of them.
