Bike Helmet Shell Thickness

I've been searching and can't find what I'm looking for. Most my helmets have a pretty thick shell that holds it's shape quite well. I just picked up a helmet with MIPS that looks very nice, but the shell is really thin. Like you can press it and it will move. It's the Bell Revolution MIPS helmet. Is a really thin shell fine? Really cheap helmet obviously, but I got a different MIPS helmet at Costco that seems much more quality for less. So I thought I'd check this one out since it's similar price. Looks good, has the MIPs inside, but the outer shell is weirding me out. Is a thicker outer shell important, or is it all about the foam? I think briefly they made helmets that didn't even have a shell.
