I have an MKH-60 that I'll be using outside. Usually the wind is pretty mild, so I don't believe I'll need heavy duty protection. I've read that furry type windprotection can somewhat attenuate the high frequencies, so don't use it unless you need to.
Here are the different options I've come across:
1) Sennheiser MZW61 Foam Windscreen

2) Sennheiser MZW-601 Blimp Windscreen

3) Rycote Smoothie

5) Rycote Extended Ball Gag Windshield (not sure if this will work with MKH-60)

6) WindTech SG-60 Shotgun Windscreen (seems like a cheaper version of the Sennheiser Foam Windscreen)
