Post-consumer recycled plastics products are familiar to most people by now, but the Acer Vero Essential Backpack is different. This is made of plastics that would have ended up in oceans. It’s an initiative that scoops up plastics within a 30-mile zone of oceans and recycles them into products like this, the Acer Vero Essential Backpack.One feature I like is the large main compartment that’s made of the same light-colored material as the rest of the backpack. With my dark-colored packs, I’m continually digging blind in the pack. With this one, I can actually see the items inside.Otherwise, this is a very lightweight backpack that feels more like a kid’s school backpack. None of the construction feels all that sturdy or heavy. While the Acer Vero Essential Backpack will hold an Acer (or any 15.6-inch laptop), that’s about all I would use it for, especially since it has few outer pockets, Other than the front pocket, the pack only has a couple of slim pockets for water bottles.In the end, I will use the Acer Vero Essential Backpack to walk down to the coffee shop with my laptop. But it will never do double-duty as a travel backpack for clothing and other larger, heavier items.
