Home Depot is ship-to-store only, can't shop and examine materials. From Lowe's web page:
  . probably no: Durovent 22x48-in Raft(?) Vent - foamed polystyrene.
  . maybe no: ADO Products Rafter Vent with Baffle 24?x46-in. White emits/absorbs less infrared, better insulation. Baffle protects soffit vents. Polystyrene - one reviewer calls them "egg crate material", too fragile?
  . Perhaps Good: proVent 22x48-in Rafter Vent. Black, may be more durable plastic, emits more infrared. Won't bend, won't keep old insulation out of soffit vents.
