There is one "strange effect" of this rule, which may not come up often 
enough to worry about, but I notice these things.

Say I take 15 points of damage wearing the armor, because of the soak 
assistance I pass the test, don't take a wound but record 15 hits.  Now I 
take the armor off, and take another 5 hits.  I'd roll my normal soak against 
the full 20.  The strange effect being that if I was able to avoid the damage 
because the armor absorbed it for me, than the hits associated with that 
damage should probably come off along with the armor.
