I get it.  Retired in '19 after 56 years of all sorts of flying in many parts of the world.  The Army and HAA/HEMS were the worst at demanding silly heat harvesting clothing and paraphernalia.   Helmets in both venues were a must, beyond that there were times when things just went overboard, especially in HAA.  


The civil version of the Lakota was no better though if the AC didn't work the med crews tended to throw in the towel if it was hot cuz inside was no more comfortable than the L.  Interestingly the predecessor to the Lakota/EC145, the BK117, was less a vomit comet in turbulence.  Good to see the five bladed rig and fenestron, if you like fenestron.
