A stance that holds
Pressure through the turn goes somewhere. With the pelvis supported, it goes into the edge instead of into your back.
Skiing
Base Layer Built For Skiing
Good skiing is a quiet upper body over working legs, and that only happens when the core is locked. The Lock supports the pelvic floor so your stance holds through the turn — top to bottom, first run to last.
Why It Works
What skiing demands of your core
The patented "D Band" supports the pelvic floor and locks the core — the foundation every other movement is built on.
Quiet over rough snow
Core stability lets your legs absorb chatter and crud independently instead of the whole body bouncing.
Warm without bulk
Active Cotton regulates temperature and moves sweat, so you're not damp and freezing on the lift after a hard run.
Wind protection option
The Lock Brief with Wind Protection adds a front wind barrier for cold, exposed days without extra layers.
In Their Words
"As a pro ski instructor, having your hips tight and secure makes every turn more relevant. At high speeds and sharp carves your core needs to be strong, and The Lock does that better than any undergarment I've ever worn. The Active Cotton base layers were a real positive surprise — warm and dry all day, no chill, no itch."
Richard Vendrig · Coach, Toronto Ski Club

The Technology
Patented, not just tight
The same platform every skiing 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.
"I'm a pro snowboarder so I'm outside most of the year — hiking the halfpipe, sweating, waiting to drop in. Lock Apparel base layers with Active Cotton eliminate that chill and any odor. Once you start wearing them you want to wear them every day."

"I love Lock Apparel's Active Cotton because of how it feels against my skin. During summer training, the breathability made me feel cooler and less sticky. I really enjoy the fact that there is no odor. I am basically incapable of wearing anything else now that I know what Active Cotton feels like."

"Heading up for another ride with The Lock — great moisture control, super comfortable even hanging out after the ride. No wet diaper feel post-ride. We rode in a window of showers and strenuous climbs and I never felt overdressed. Bottom line: all great stuff."
