I have the BLS pedal axle straps. I am not impressed with the quality. I've had them less than a year and do not use them during all my track sessions, but they are showing a ton of wear. I am not worried about them snapping on me yet, but I would expect better durability given the materials and cost.
The gloves are absolute garbage. They fit horribly. The material does not stretch at all. I do NOT recommend.
The track bag seems fine.
I saw someone at a meet recently with these abominations and couldn't believe how bad they looked to use. They genuinely looked like shiny black gardening gloves.
In terms of straps, I have a friend doing cycling shoe customisation who also does straps in batches of 10 specially made for each rider. They're made from the same materials as car seatbelts and specially selected buckles etc. They're have been tested by several international riders, no sponsorship involved...they just work:
