A better approach
Jump height comes from hip extension. Support the pelvis and more of that extension makes it into the jump.
Volleyball
Compression Shorts Built For Volleyball
Jump, land, dig, repeat — for hours. The Lock supports the pelvic floor so your approach stays explosive and your landings stay controlled through the last set of a tournament day.
Why It Works
What volleyball 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 under control
Hundreds of landings per session load the pelvis and knees. Core stability shares that work properly.
Low and quick
Digging and passing live in a low, wide base. Stability lets you drop and recover without losing position.
Tournament-day comfort
Flat panels under spandex, no riding up on a dive, and Active Cotton that stays dry across back-to-back matches.
In Their Words
"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."
Mike Chaloupka · Ex-Canadian National Team, European Pro

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

"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."

"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."
