Boromirs Gear

[Telchar]

From The Departure of Boromir:

Now they laid Boromir in the middle of the boat that was to bear him away. The grey hood and elven-cloak they folded and placed beneath his head. They combed his long dark hair and arrayed it upon his shoulders. The golden belt of Lórien gleamed about his waist. His helm they set beside him, and across his lap they laid the cloven horn and the hilts and shards of his sword; beneath his feet they put the swords of his enemies.

His helm? - I have never figured Boromir to wear a helm. There is no other reference elsewhere. Do you guys think that Boromir wore a helmet all the way from Rivendell ?

I was just wondering.
