I had a TourMaste Cortech one-piece suit and was unimpresse with it's performance in a get-off. While most of the panels held up OK, the lycra at the knee shredded very quickly, leaving the thin nylon inner liner as the only protection for my knee. Had I slid any longer, I would have been through the nylon and into my knee.
Additionally, the fabric at the cuffs and colar deteriorates over time, eventually allowing the inner liner to come adrift - this is bad becasue it's that inner liner that holds and locates the armor.
