The wristbands are there to prevent sunlight from hitting it. It will create condensation inside the bottle and having water in your brake fluid isn't good. Now your everyday street/track rider probably doesn't need it, but it's just another way to personalize your bike. I don't use one and my brakes have been good for 12k miles and 6 track days.
