Detailed description
"Rid'Air Team's Opinion: The Skin 4 P reaches a new level in the world of single-surface wings. We finally have a flare worthy of a classic wing, while maintaining a compactness and weight (starting from 1.6 kg) that make it forgettable in a trail pack. It's the ultimate weapon for impossible take-offs and descents from technical summits."
Niviuk Skin 4 P: The High-Tech Single-Surface Wing
The Niviuk Skin 4 P is the fourth generation of the benchmark single-surface wing in its "Feather" version. Designed for extreme Hike & Fly and mountaineering, it has been optimized to offer flying sensations increasingly close to a double-surface wing, while retaining the unbeatable advantages of the concept: instant inflation, minimal packing volume, and featherlight weight.
The internal structure has been reinforced with the addition of 6 closed cells (struts) that stiffen the profile and significantly improve speed and glide performance. The work on the leading edge and the use of Nitinol rods ensure perfect wing tension. The major innovation lies in its landing behavior: the Skin 4 P offers a true flare, making high-altitude landings much safer and more comfortable.
Certified EN-B, it exhibits exemplary pitch stability. Its lightness (using Porcher Skytex 27 fabric) and streamlined line system facilitate untangling on rough terrain. Whether you're a trail runner looking for a fast descent or a mountaineer aiming for a virgin summit, the Skin 4 P is the lightest and most high-performing companion in the Niviuk catalog.
The Skin 4 P is a very accessible single-surface wing, but it requires a different speed management than a classic wing during approach. Its extreme lightness also requires particular care when handling on abrasive surfaces.
