Which Seatpost?

My current seatpost keeps coming loose and making the saddle move, so ive decided to upgrade.
Which one should I buy?
I would like it to be below 260g ideally. I am on a budget, so under £30 would be nice too.
thanks

You didnt mention post diameter, type of riding or length so try loking at these. I recomend the Easton ones tho.

It will be used for general trail riding. I tend to have the saddle quite low so not too bothered about the length. I havent measured the diameter yet, but will do before buying!0 -

What happens is the saddle comes loose from the thing that attaches it to the seatpost. The seatpost is a single bolt design, and i'm told this is a common problem with single bolt posts.0 -

Right, ive measured up and I need a 27.2, 350mm long post.0

I had various Ritchey seatposts incl. a one bolt WCS and I thought that they were awful. The saddle always slipped & the front lifted when I put my arse on it.
I bought a SDG I-beam seatpost & a SDG Formula FXR saddle for £60 2 weeks ago (Brand new from an ebay shop). I think it was an excellent purchase. I think the seatpost was very light too/
