Wrap Right, Every Time

How to apply

  • Prep the area: Clean, dry skin; remove oils, sweat, or lotions.
  • Anchor + wrap: Start with a light anchor, then wrap or lay the tape in smooth, even lines with controlled tension.
  • Follow the shape: Move along the muscle or joint in the direction of support, avoiding wrinkles or gaps.
  • Secure the finish: End with a firm but comfortable anchor; check circulation and adjust if too tight.

Once it’s on, you’re supported, secure, and ready to move with confidence

Why Rugby Players Choose Locked In

Trusted by rugby players and athletes across the UK. Our support tapes and wraps are designed for stability, protection, and performance during training and matchday contact.

Built for Contact, Backed by Answers

Your complete guide to staying protected through every hit, scrum, and ruck.

You get three contact‑ready tapes built for the intensity of rugby:

  • Zinc‑Oxide Tape for rigid joint and finger protection.
  • Sock Wrap to secure socks, boots, and strapping through heavy contact.
  • Cohesive Bandage for quick compression, light support, and fast sideline fixes.

Players across all positions - from front‑row enforcers to fast outside backs - who need reliable support, secure kit setup, and protection through scrums, tackles, rucks, and repeated high‑impact collisions.

Common rugby taping zones include:

  • Ankles for stability during scrums, sidesteps, and heavy contact.
  • Fingers & thumbs for grip, ball control, and preventing jams.
  • Wrists for support during tackles and hand‑offs.
  • Boots, socks & laces using Sock Wrap to keep everything locked in.
  • Shins & padding secured with Cohesive for extra comfort.

Yes _ they’re designed to work together.

  • Zinc‑Oxide gives uncompromising joint and finger stability.
  • Sock Wrap keeps your kit secure through scrums and collisions.
  • Cohesive handles compression, swelling control, and quick touchline adjustments.

Using all three creates a full‑contact support system.

Absolutely.

  • Training: Helps manage knocks, prevent strain, and stabilise joints during high‑volume drills.
  • Match day: Keeps you protected and locked in for the full 80.
  • Post‑match: Cohesive is ideal for light compression and recovery support.

Not when applied correctly.

  • Zinc‑Oxide stabilises without adding bulk.
  • Sock Wrap is flexible and non‑restrictive.
  • Cohesive moves naturally with the body.

You stay powerful, agile, and protected.

Extremely well.

  • Zinc‑Oxide grips hard through sweat, friction, and repeated impact.
  • Sock Wrap stays secure without sticking to fabric.
  • Cohesive sticks to itself, even in wet or muddy conditions.

Yes - all three tapes follow the same simple prep → anchor → wrap method. Even first‑time users can apply them quickly and effectively on the sideline or in the changing room.

It can support areas affected by:

  • Finger jams
  • Ankle rolls
  • Wrist strain
  • Minor knocks and swelling
  • Boot or sock slippage

It’s not a medical treatment, but it helps reduce stress and keeps you match‑ready.
