Niviuk ZipNkare P: Ultralight Protection for Your P-Series Wing
The Niviuk ZipNkare P is the ultimate packing solution for Hike & Fly pilots and those who use Niviuk’s lightweight P-Series wings. Engineered for maximum weight savings without sacrificing protection, this ultralight concertina bag allows you to fold your wing quickly and compactly while safeguarding the delicate internal structure and leading-edge reinforcements. With its briefcase-style carry handle and minimalist design, it is the perfect bridge between elite performance and equipment care.
Ultralight & High-Efficiency Features
- Featherweight Design: Weighing between 158g and 215g (depending on size), it is optimized for pilots where every gram counts on the ascent.
- Compressed Portability: The zipper-based system closes from the trailing edge to the leading edge, expelling air to create an ultra-compact package that fits into the smallest Hike & Fly rucksacks.
- Concertina Rib Protection: Designed to stack the wing’s ribs perfectly, preserving the integrity of Nitinol rods and fabric reinforcements to ensure consistent flight performance.
- Briefcase Carry Handle: Includes an ergonomic handle that allows for easy transport once the wing is folded, even before it is placed in your main backpack.
- Riser Safety: A dedicated internal pocket keeps risers separate from the wing fabric, preventing tangles and protecting the cloth from hardware-related wear.
- Instructional Layout: Features clear internal and external markings to guide the pilot through the correct folding process, ensuring the wing is packed safely every time.
