Driver's helmets are typically made from composite materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, and Kevlar, which provide a combination of lightweight strength and durability. These materials are designed to absorb impact and protect the driver in the event of a crash. Additionally, the helmet's interior often includes a foam padding for comfort and further impact absorption. The outer shell is often treated with fire-resistant coatings to enhance safety in high-temperature situations.
