Speaking of Specialized, they tout their helmets as having a kevlar web molded into the foam to keep it in one piece (relatively speaking). I've heard that other manufacturers also use some form of internal reinforcement in their higher-end helmets.
Would this be where you actually get a better helmet by paying more?
