Looking for the perfect blend of performance, comfort, and lightweight equipment to fly and sleep under the stars? We've got exactly what you're after!

The ideal volbiv kit consists of three essential Niviuk products: the Klimber 3 P wing, the Arrow P pod harness, and the Expe 80 rucksack.

Klimber 3 P: Lightweight with exceptional performance

The Klimber 3 P hardly needs an introduction. It’s the quintessential mountain wing: ultralight, compact, and specifically designed for hike and fly adventures and cross-country flights. With an astonishing weight (from just 2.85 kg) and outstanding flight stability, this wing will be your best companion when every gram counts.
 

NK Tip: Our pilots choose this wing for demanding competitions like the Red Bull X-Alps. A true all-rounder, it allows confident take-offs and landings even in remote alpine areas.

Arrow P pod harness: Comfort on long flights

Nothing complements the Klimber 3 P better than the Arrow P pod harness. With its ultra-low weight (starting at just 1.61 kg) and comfort-focused design, you’ll be able to fly comfortably for hours. Perfect for long flights and spontaneous mountain landings alike. Add the inflatable Apair protector to reduce both weight and packing volume even further.
 

NK Tip: The front nose pocket, located just ahead of the footrest, is the ideal size to store your sleeping bag.
