Tighter in the air
Rotation is easiest when the middle of the body doesn't move. Core support helps you hold a clean, quiet air position.
Figure Skating
Core Support Built For Figure Skating
Rotation in the air and control on the landing edge both depend on a locked core. The Lock supports the pelvic floor so your air position holds and your landings absorb cleanly — session after session.
Why It Works
What figure skating demands of your core
The patented "D Band" supports the pelvic floor and locks the core — the foundation every other movement is built on.
Landings that absorb
Every landing loads one hip. A stable pelvis lets the leg absorb the force instead of the back taking it.
Invisible under costume
Flat panels and no bulky seams mean it disappears under tights, a dress, or training gear.
Warm rink, cold rink
Active Cotton regulates instead of soaking, so you're not cold and damp during long ice time or off-ice work.
In Their Words
"As a figure skater my body temperature goes up and down on a regular basis, training in a cold arena for many hours. The Active Cotton kept me comfortable and warm, almost like a windbreaker, and then cooled me down just as quickly. It didn't restrict my movement in any way — I had full range of motion to perform at my fullest."
Jaeden Blewett · Junior Silver Medallist, Calgary Winter Club

The Technology
Patented, not just tight
The same platform every figure skating athlete on this page is wearing. You only need to wear The Lock once to feel the difference that separates it from any comparable short on the market.
The D Band
A patented band that supports the pelvic floor and holds the anatomy safely against the pubic symphysis — stability where compression alone does nothing.
Differentiated fabrication
The panels distinguish between muscle groups, so support lands where it's needed and freedom of movement stays where it matters.
Active Cotton
100% cotton engineered to move moisture away from the skin, resist odour, and stay soft without going heavy, sticky, or cold.
More Athletes
Same platform. Different arenas.
"From spike serving to defence and passing, The Lock keeps you stable. The core compression aspect keeps your back and hips engaged so your upper body can perform. It's also helped my lower back from the tiny aches of repetitive drills. Once you get used to it, regular compression just doesn't measure up."

"As an ex-Olympic hurdler, I'm amazed that a pair of running shorts could actually enhance my performance. After only 2 weeks the small aches and pains that are just part of being an athlete have miraculously disappeared. The Lock is truly a performance-enhancing piece of gear that every athlete should add to their arsenal."

"Lock Apparel's Lock supports the pelvic floor region and prevents you from losing pelvic floor stability — which, in turn, helps you lift and move better. Like a glass of water or a pair of running shoes, The Lock is that relevant."
