Always, but always try it on first

Always try kit on before you buy - the cost of a journey is much less than the cost of replacing kit that doesn't fit. I was once foolish enough to buy a pair of trousers without trying them on, and the knee armour is halfway up my thigh! They are also not very waterproof, I guess they were cheap for a reason.
You mentioned gloves, and I think gloves are at least as important as your helmet because when you fall, you put your hands out to stop yourself. When I was learning a guy on the course turned up without gloves, and I was tempted to copy him until an instructor saw his bare hands. He asked (loud enough for us all to hear) "who is your best friend? And when you fall off and your hands are bandaged, will he wipe your arse for you?" It is not a pretty thought.
