Quick verdict

The Float E2-35 from BCA is equipped with the Alpride E2 system. The backpack's attachment options and organization are well-thought-out; the skins and crampon compartment were particularly impressive.

Verdict

The Float E2-35 from BCA is equipped with the Alpride E2 system. The backpack's attachment options and organization are well-thought-out; the skins and crampon compartment were particularly impressive. The price-performance ratio somewhat tarnishes an otherwise very positive overall impression.
