Single skin wing
The Skin 4 P is much more than an ultralight single-surface wing; it’s the ultimate evolution of hike and fly. Its design is completely new, created from scratch with a single goal: to be the lightest and most compact wing possible, without sacrificing safety or the pleasure of flying.
The Skin 4 P has been tested under extreme conditions, being the hero of the flight from the summit of K2. After that experience, it’s ready for any mountain challenge.
Designed for peaks. Perfect for mountaineers, trail runners and climbers who need a light, versatile wing to descend after demanding routes. Its tiny volume means it easily fits into even the smallest backpack.
The Skin 4 P is an evolved version of the wing used on K2 by our pilots. Thanks to their feedback, we have improved its accessibility, in-flight behaviour, and reduced its weight, while maintaining exceptional control even at extreme altitudes.
Weighing under one kilo in the smallest size, the Skin 4 P is the lightest wing ever created by Niviuk. Every component has been redesigned to reduce weight to the absolute minimum.
Made from the new ultralight and durable N10 22 g fabric, his wing is much lighter and more compact than the previous model. The result is equipment that fits effortlessly into backpacks of less than 30 L.
During take off, the Skin 4 P inflates with surprising ease. It rises directly above the pilot without overshooting, even in light wind. It’s a formidable tool for safe launches, even in tight or technical areas.
During landing, the wing provides greater and more progressive speed retention, allowing for a more predictable, intuitive roundout and flare.
Combine your Skin 4 P with other P Series products and enjoy a complete flying kit under 1.90 kg. The ultralight Roamer 2 P harness, Expe 30 backpack, and Kase P front reserve container form a balanced, lightweight, and functional kit for your adventures.
