KLIMBER P

Naturally competitive, designed for your adventure

WELCOME

We wish to welcome you to our team and thank you for your confidence in 
our glider product line.

We would like to share the enthusiasm with which we created this wing 
and the importance and care we took in the design and manufacture of 
this new model in order to offer maximum pleasure on every flight with a 
Niviuk glider. 

The KLIMBER P is the result of our obsession to achieve the perfect 
balance between a super-light wing and incredible performance.
We are sure that you will enjoy flying this paraglider and soon you will 
discover the meaning of our slogan: “Give importance to the small details 
to make big things happen”.

This is the user manual and we recommend you read it carefully.

The NIiviuk Team.

USER MANUAL

This manual provides you with the necessary information on the main 
characteristics of your new paraglider.

Whilst it provides information on the wing, it cannot be viewed as an 
instructional handbook and does not offer the training required to fly this 
type of paraglider. 
Training can only be obtained at a certified paragliding school and each 
country has its own system of licensing.
Only the aeronautical authorities of respective countries can determine 
pilot competence.

The information in this manual is provided in order to warn you against 
adverse flying situations and potential dangers.

Equally, we would like to remind you that it is important to carefully read all 
the contents of your new KLIMBER P manual. 

Misuse of this equipment could lead to severe injuries or death. The 
manufacturers and dealers cannot be held responsible for misuse of the 
paraglider. It is the responsibility of the pilot to ensure the equipment is 
used correctly.
