SSh-60

SSh60 (romanized from СШ-60) is a steel helmet introduced in 1960 in the Soviet Union. The outward appearance of the SSh-60 is identical to that of the SSh-40, the shell has the same size and shape. The difference is in the liner, which was replaced by a more comfortable, four piece model consisting of four fake leather flaps with drawstrings on both the upper part of the head and around the forehead and neck.

The SSh-60 was replaced in 1968 by the new SSh-68, the differences being the shape of the shell and new sorts of chin straps. As the SSh-60 looks identical to the SSh-40 when worn, it is hard to tell from photos how widespread their use was. The short time of manufacture would suggest that these were rather limited in numbers when compared to the SSh-40.
