Detailed description
"The Rid'Air team's opinion: The Skin 4 P is not just a feather in your bag; it's a true mountain wing that offers surprising flare for a single-surface glider and record compactness."
Niviuk Skin 4 P: Single-Surface Excellence for Radical Hike & Fly
The Skin 4 P represents the ultimate evolution of Niviuk's single-surface concept. Designed for mountaineers and demanding hike & fly enthusiasts, it redefines lightness standards with a weight starting at just 0.95 kg. Directly stemming from the experience of the historic flight from the summit of K2, this wing is the perfect tool for those who consider weight and volume as critical factors.
Thanks to the use of the new Dokdo 22g/m² fabric and an optimized internal structure (RSD technology), the Skin 4 P is 34 % lighter and 42 % more compact than its predecessor. In flight, it surprises with its stability and ability to penetrate the air mass, while offering intuitive handling. The work on the trailing edge now allows for a much more effective flare, making landings in technical areas much more serene.
Safety is not overlooked with the integration of advanced technologies such as Nitinol (TNT) for perfect shape memory and 3DL for a taut, wrinkle-free profile. Whether you're a trail runner looking for a quick descent or an experienced mountaineer, the Skin 4 P is the wing that you'll forget is in your bag, allowing you to conquer your summits.
