What products are included in the Cargo Mambo Combo?

The Cargo Mambo Combo includes a Cargo bag, a SleeveCase, a medium Gear Pouch or Cableguy, and a Shoulder Pad.

What is the difference between the Large, Medium and Small Cargo bags?

The main difference is that the Large Cargo comes with the option of a padded internal stiffener that allows it to keep its full shape and to stand up on its own. Without the stiffener it is considered a soft bag and will hang more like a traditional messenger bag, though we do use a very substantial custom made ballistic nylon to help give it nice shape. The Large is about 2" deeper than the medium and gets wider and longer at the top allowing the user to insert bigger items. It will hold more gear--it is a large bag. The Cargo bags without the internal stiffener will get smaller/flatter as you take contents out.

The Large Cargo has a pocket in the back of the main compartment to keep small laptops secure. Larger laptops that don't fit into this rear pocket can fit securely end to end within the main compartment. The Medium and Small Cargo do not have this rear internal pocket because they are small enough to compress around their contents and hold the laptop securely.

What is the difference between the Large Cargo and the Large Cargo With Padded Stiffener?

The Padded Stiffener adds protection to the Large Cargo and allows it to stand on its own and to keep its full shape. The standard Large Cargo, while also substantial, is more like a traditional messenger bag. The standard Large Cargo is just like the Medium and Small Cargo....only bigger. It will get smaller/flatter as you take contents out of it.

How big is the large Cargo?

It’s big. If you are a petite person, it could be rather large for you.

Do I have to lift the flap to get inside the Cargo’s main compartment? No!

Hell no! You can access the main compartment through a convenient, sturdy top zipper. We’ve designed everything for easy access.

Do I need a SleeveCase for my laptop when using the Cargo bag?

We recommend the use of a SleeveCase to protect your laptop when inserted inside any bag because the SleeveCase gives you added protection from bumps and scratches.

However, with our bags, you don't HAVE to use the SleeveCase; it just depends on how much protection you want. The bag itself if not padded specifically for a laptop - that way you can use it without one as well.

What is the difference between a Gear Pouch and a Cableguy?

The gear pouch has two main compartments--one that can hold accessories that are bulky or flat, and a side zippered pocket for smaller items. The cable guy is also divided into two zippered compartments, but each has internal organizational mesh pockets.

The Cableguy is slightly larger than the Gear Pouch in each corresponding size. The Cableguy product page includes images of the three different sizes with items inside. They will give you a good idea of what will fit in each.

What is the difference between the Cargo and the Cozmo?

Each has its own distinct style. The Cargo has the functionality of a briefcase and the look of a messenger bag. The Cozmo has roughly the same volume as the Cargo, but it is more minimalist in style and is a bit more compact and lighter weight. The Cargo has more pockets than the Cozmo, though the Cozmo still has a good number of them. The Medium and Small Cargo bags are soft like a messenger bag. The Large Cargo, however, has a padded internal stiffener that allows it to stand up and keep its full shape. The Cozmo is soft-sided with a stiff lower section, which allows it (in all sizes) to stand up on its own and provides impact protection. One side of the Shoulder Strap on the Cargo is sewn down and the other is attached to a quick-adjust Cam-lock so you can quickly shorten or lengthen the strap. The Cozmo comes with a removable 'suspension' Shoulder Strap. Both also come with leather-lined handles thereby offering two carry options.

What is the difference between the Cargo and the Cozmo?

The Shoulder Pad is a removable cushion lined with non-sliding material to prevent bags from slipping off your shoulder or wrinkling your clothes. It is designed to move along the shoulder strap so you can place the pad on your shoulder even if you move the Cargo from your side to your back.
