Verdict

The Float E2 25 from BCA utilizes the Alpride E2 system starting this year. Access to the shovel and probe is exemplary, and carrying comfort and handling stand out positively, as does the groundbreaking ambidextrous mounting and height adjustment for the trigger. The high price dampens the otherwise positive overall impression.
