If you can get ahold of one of the old style Klean Kanteen 16oz stainless bottles with just a flat screw-on lid (I don't think they make them anymore) you can also get this https://www.amazon.com/Neoprene-Bottle-Coolie-Bottom-Various/dp/B01MRQJFZF/ref=pd_lpo_d_sccl_2/137-0892808-8495053?pd_rd_w=vzg2i&content-id=amzn1.sym.4c8c52db-06f8-4e42-8e56-912796f2ea6c&pf_rd_p=4c8c52db-06f8-4e42-8e56-912796f2ea6c&pf_rd_r=R9C9HZMA53866C2BCK2K&pd_rd_wg=2muUr&pd_rd_r=db42c634-d0f7-455e-b2c8-1f3ba641fec4&pd_rd_i=B01MRQJFZF&th=1 and tie the ones with the strings around the neck around the neck of your bottle, cutting off any excess material and cinching it tightly. It won't keep the liquid in your bottle very cold - water plus ice melts to just plain water in less than a 15 mile ride in warm weather - and you'll either have to stop to take a sip or else be very good at drinking while riding your bike hands-free. But they'll keep a nice size bottle like that from rattling in your bottle cadge.
