Niviuk launch Skin 4 P
Single skin ultralight now weighs under 1kg in the smallest size
22 October, 2025, by Cross CountryNiviuk have released a comprehensively updated single-skin. Tested on the world’s second highest mountain the Skin 4 P is an ultralight single surface wing for mountaineers, trail runners and pilots who want the lightest form of descent possible.
Weighing under 1kg 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,” they say. Made from the new ultralight and durable N10 22 g fabric, this wing is much lighter and more compact than the previous model. The result is a package that easily fits into a 30l backpack.
“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,” say Niviuk.
Niviuk say that when used with their Roamer 2 P harness and Expe 30 backpack the complete flying weight comes in at under 2kg. The Skin 4 P comes in four sizes from 50kg to 110kg
