A stronger strike
Striking a ball is a hip-driven whip. A supported pelvis gives that whip something rigid to work against.
Soccer
Compression Shorts Built For Soccer
Ninety minutes of sprinting, cutting, and striking loads the pelvis more than almost any other sport. The Lock's patented 'D Band' supports that area directly — so your last sprint looks like your first.
Why It Works
What soccer demands of your core
The patented "D Band" supports the pelvic floor and locks the core — the foundation every other movement is built on.
Cuts and turns
Change of direction is where adductors and hip flexors get punished. Core stability shares that load properly.
Ninety-minute legs
Players report keeping their stride and their sharpness deep into the second half instead of shortening up.
Under kit, out of mind
It sits flat under match shorts, doesn't ride up on sprints, and stays dry through a full match in the heat.
In Their Words
"The Lock clothing made my training a lot more comfortable. I really noticed a difference when I went back to normal gear. It even corrected my form while running — forcing me into a more suitable stance. The bra was so well-fitted I was almost unable to tell I was wearing it. Everything is really great."

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

"Lacrosse is like running a long-distance race — but you're twisting and turning to get position or shoot, and that means your core has to be engaged. That's what The Lock does over just regular compression shorts. I've also noticed faster recovery the next day."

"The first thing I noticed was that my stability improved. I was able to dribble, stop and shoot with more control. That led to overall more confidence as I moved around the court. But the biggest benefit was late in game or practice when I got tired. I found that I didn't lose control and that I recovered quickly. Great product unlike any other compression shorts I've worn — and I've worn them all."
