+1 on what rdtompki said. (Many years ago when Giro helmets first came out, they used a lycra cover on their helmets which wasn't the best way to address the snagging issue of your head skidding along the pavement.) Also, ALL helmet foam is subject to degradation over time, not just "racing" helmets. No matter what style you go with, you ought to replace it every 3 years or so (maybe sooner if you sweat a lot).
