What are the adavantages and disadvantages of materials such as Fiberglass, Carbon Fiber, Aramid/Kevlar, ABS composite (dont know what this is), etc?

i'm not an expert on helmets, but from what i've read....fiberglass shells are more stronger compared to ordinary ABS plastic, it's heavier though....

other materials such as those that you have mentioned are stronger than fiberglass but weighs less....that's why most top end helmets uses them...but they can be quite expensive...
