Skin 4 P
BORN ON THE SUMMIT OF K2 - The Skin 4 P is much more than an ultralight single-surface wing; it’s the ultimate evolution of hike and fly.
Pilot Profile:
Hike & Fly. Designed for peaks. Perfect for mountaineers, trail runners and climbers who need a light, versatile wing to descend after demanding routes.The Niviuk Skin 4 P is a revolutionary ultralight single-surface wing famously tested to fly from the summit of K2. Weighing from just 0.95 kg in size 14, it is one of the lightest wings available. It combines the ultralight Dokdo 22g/m2 fabric with Niviuk's Nitinol rod technology in the leading edge for durability. A completely redesigned internal structure optimizes load distribution, while minimalist risers save weight by replacing maillons with direct loop-to-loop line connections. Special take-off tabs allow securing the wing on snow or slippery, steep launches. It is the ultimate tool for alpinists and extreme hike & fly enthusiasts.
