I use some cheap ones from Ibera on Amazon. They need to be bent every so often but I've never lost a bottle and they're lightweight.

\nTo bend em I just squeeze the sides back in. Nothing fancy.

If you don't need side load...I really like my Bontrager RL cages. Light and I've never had a bottle fall out on gravel or single track. They are pricey though but I got mine cheap. They also have the Sideswipe RL if you need the side loading.
I'm a huge fan of the Bontrager BAT cages. I have used them for ~15 years on various mountain bikes, gravel bikes, road bikes etc. and never dropped a bottle. You can see that even the Trek Segafredo team use them for road races, especially the classics.
It is a really simple, really cheap bottle cage. http://pelotonmagazine.com/gear/bontrager-bat-cage-review-images/

Any other good secure cages, or side entry cages?

\nI love them. I ran 2 in the triangle, plus a carbon mandible, at both Land Run and Kanza this year. No issues, and no bottle moved even a millimeter bombing down the washboard.

\nIf you want side-loaders for access under a half-frame bag the Arundels are awesome.
The one that is on gravel bike lost bottle cage once. Then I bended this bottlecage and it never lost bottle again. They are a bit heavy but comfortable in usage and look fun!
