Rotation you control
Spins and butters start in the core. A stable pelvis makes the rotation deliberate rather than a fight for balance.
Snowboarding
Base Layer Built For Snowboarding
Rotation, edge pressure, and landings — snowboarding runs on core control. The Lock supports the pelvic floor so your board follows your body instead of the other way around.
Why It Works
What snowboarding 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 absorbed
Compressing on a landing loads the pelvis directly. Support lets the legs and hips take it together.
All-day dry
Hiking a park lap gets you hot; the lift makes you cold. Active Cotton manages the swing without soaking.
Protected on impact
The Lock holds the anatomy safely and comfortably in place — worth having on the days the landing doesn't go to plan.
In Their Words
"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."
Katie Tsuyuki · Pro Snowboarder, Canadian Olympian

The Technology
Patented, not just tight
The same platform every snowboarding 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.
"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."

"There are a thousand different ways to be uncomfortable on a motorcycle, and in 38 years of riding I think I've experienced all of them. Nothing has increased my comfort as much as Active Cotton and The Lock shorts. They keep everything elevated, cool and dry — long, comfortable days in the saddle."

"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."
