ShZ-82 Air Force ribbed leather helmet with fur liner, dated 1990.
Worn alone or under regular hard shell jet pilot helmets. This is a modification of the ShZ-50 helmet series used by pilots and aircrew of virtually all Soviet aircraft throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s. Lamb fur interior has an attached factory label showing a 1990 date of manufacture and Size 57 (about US size 7 1/8 / Medium).

In superb, near mint condition, appears to be an unissued example. The leather is perfect, "healthy" and supple; the exterior is perfectly clean and shows only some light scuffs to the earphones, not detractive. The fur on the inside is likewise immaculately clean and sound. There is only a minor amount of storage dust to the inside of the earphones that may clean off. The cloth strips on the forehead and neck on the inside show no wear or soiling. Includes a complete set of avionics. The helmet is completely free of the typical mildew smell of items that spent decades in a Soviet warehouse.

Overall, a truly superb example from the last days of the Soviet Union - in our opinion, literally impossible to upgrade.
