Common materials
Polycarbonate is cost-effective and impact-resistant for daily helmets.
Fiberglass and composites are lighter and often used in higher-end models.
How materials affect performance
Shell stiffness and liner quality determine energy absorption in a crash.
Choose material based on riding style and budget rather than trends alone.
