Formula One helmets are made of several separate layers. The outer shell has two layers, typically fibre reinforced resin over carbon fibre. Under that comes a layer of very strong plastic which is similar to the material used in bullet proof jackets. Then there is a softer layer made of plastic based on polystyrene covered with fireproof material. The visor will be made of a special clear polycarbonate that gives excellent visibility and impact protection.
