Same as what others have already said.. if it's a helmet that took impact during a crash, I'll replace it.

Certain jackets/boots/pants/gloves or whatever will survive more than one crash I imagine, assuming the stitching remained intact and the material wasn't too worn down from sliding, but any armor inserts that were impacted should be replaced, IIRC.
