Secure bottle holders

Can anyone recommend a nice, secure water bottle holder? I have lost like 4 bottles the last few months, pretty annoying, using it on a MTB on rough trails

i use one of the garmin elastics and tie it around my bottle cage and around the bottle spout, never ever ever lost a bottle with it on

it allows me to use the cheapest bottle cages you can find

I’ve never lost a bottle out my bottle cages in more than 20 years of riding. 

Have Specialized cages on two bikes, Giant-branded on the MTB and Ritchey cages on my… Ritchey.

What bottles do you, OP, use?

+1 For these, they're my go-to. End up scratching your bottles (as most cages do), maar hulle klou soos 'n drol op 'n wol kombers.

To those saying "I've never lost a bottle in more nearly 100 years" stop riding manicured trails/ tar road with your MTBS 😝

 

Thanks to Patrick and his elves my bottles are safe ...

 

By shear magic I managed to hang onto my bottles at Java, Eselfontein, Fine Breede, Nuy .... with an assortment of tight fitting plastic cages

Lost 2 Camelbak bottles, and 2 free bottles that I got from races

 

I have a Lezyne flow cage and some Ryder cage I think it is

 

Actually that Ryder cage posted above is the culprit of 2 missing Camelbak bottles
