I haven't tried the pants, but have been looking at that style for better protection than the lightest thing I'll wear, which is draggin jeans.
I have both that jacket, and the perforated version of their other jacket... the magnum has the nice reflective piping, and some added foam padding in the shoulder and elbow area. Not impact type stuff, just padding. Makes the shoulders a bit bulkier than the other jacket, but it doesn't interfere with the full face helmet, either on a bonneville, or something with a more athletic posture.
GREAT deal for the money.
I have had some of the cortech zippers start to come unstitched at the sleeve cuff zipper - easy enough with a little needle and thread - hasn't given me a problem since.
I have also had 2 slow speed incidents on different bikes with this brand of jacket - and one hard impact to the elbow - and I did not even feel it later on.
They've already earned their keep - great stuff. The perforated stuff I'll wear here in NC in 98 degree weather without issue (get a nice wicking underlayer, and you'll be fine).
