New product
The 6Sh117 vest was first introduced to the public in August 2013 and officially entered service with the military at the end of 2014. It is the result of a modernization effort based on the earlier 6Sh116 vest, which itself evolved from the 6Sh112—the first model in this series of modular load-bearing equipment. The 6Sh117 features enhanced ergonomics, modularity, and compatibility with a wider range of gear, reflecting ongoing improvements in infantry equipment.
