That's exactly what I'm talking/thinking about Existing bag as is - with a small flap covered pocket at the forward position/grommit. |

Outer flap pocket...what an idea farm this is becoming.

Might just have a go at making some myself. I've got a fair bit of leather knocking about from disused bike jackets (been down the road too many times )

It sure would be nice to have a more effective and less expensive solution. Keeping my fingers crossed ...

But, they arrived a nice almost pink color. I'm now looking for a UV protector something that won't change color and won't let the sunlight change it either.
