Niviuk Skin 4 P

Marcus Aurelius instructed us: "Of each particular thing, ask: what is it in itself? What is its nature?" The nature of Niviuk's single-surface Skin 4 P is to carry weightlessly and to fly effortlessly. Perhaps the smoothest and most predictable single-surface glider on the market, Niviuk really rubbed the lotion on its Skin in their R&D dungeon to alleviate the twitchy toggle response of most other single-surface gliders. The enticingly silky and lightweight glider skin offers incredible packability, ensures instantaneous inflation, and is harvested from Dominico ripstop nylon (not from abducted victims). Its reduced aspect ratio of 4.9 ensures a stable ride and yields impressive collapse-recovery scores (even in the 14m size). The improved profile offers a wider speed range than its predecessor, providing a buffer for forward penetration in mountain winds. The use of ultrafine Nitinol rods in the leading edge provides excellent shape retention and long-term durability, even with sloppy pack jobs. If you're a high-output, high-elevation mountain pilot with ambitious goals and a discerning taste for a smooth and refined flying experience, we suggest you enjoy Niviuk's Skin 4 P with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
