The {butchered} body of your post is pretty much what I was asking about. I like to get the RAW straight in my head before I do any HR stuff and applying the armour in layers appeared to mean that the Innate DR had no effect; might even mean wearing a helmet resulted in injury.

But I think the logic is:
The helmet's DR stops the damage;
But it can't stop the damage from causing BT.
Your innate DR, however, can stop damage that would result in BT;
So you subtract the innate DR from the initial damage and then calculate BT.
The innate DR only comes into play to reduce damage not stopped by the worn DR.
