Default Leather pouch on saddlebag guard?

What is this leather pouch I see on some saddle bag guards? Is this the water bottle holder and if so how is the comfort for the passenger? What all does it come with? Looks like it would come in handy for the driver for carrying a beverage.

I have em on both sides. Don't have the water bottle kind but have heard no complaints from the wife about them getting in the way for her.

I have one on the left, keep a drink in it, and have had no complaints about being in the way

Thanks. i just found them on the web site and i guess they are plastic and not leather. I was a little shocked at the price but I should know by now. I never thought of running 2, great idea.

Pleather, so that's why they are so expensive. I remember when naga hide first came out. It cost a fortune to start up the naga farms but then after the breeding program the prices finally fell.

How many Nagas would it take to make one of those pouches?
