They all seem to be Styrofoam with a plastic outer shell. I laid my bicycle down going around a curve when I hit some slimy water crossing the road. My head slammed down pretty hard on the side. I was wearing a generic type helmet and it cracked the styrofoam so I am sure it absorbed most of the force that would otherwise have knocked my skull. I highly recommend wearing a helmet but don't see much difference in the expensive vs moderate priced ones.
And to think, as a kid growing up, we never wore helmets on our bikes and rode all over town.
