Some years ago climbing helmets were indeed bulky and a nuisance. The "Joe Brown" was a fiberglass monster - heavy, bulky, but protective - I treated one victim whose life was undoubtedly saved by his.
The old JB's were indeed monsters! Heavier then an old Buick and with no ventilation which would make your head drown in sweat...Thankfully newer technology has made these old helmets a relic of the past.
