Anyone have experience with On's running apparel? It's pricy but looks pretty nice and if it's quality I have no problem shelling out. I'm not convinced on the gimmick of the shoes yet but the apparel (particularly the hats, shirts, and training pants) seems to be solid.

I was gifted some for hosting team members and I really like their stuff. But I would think most running apparel at this price point would be quality.
A good running shirt (long or short) or singlet can CLEARLY be made for $30-50.
When I see them sold for $80, it's just laughable.
And while I'm generally fairly frugal, I have no problem spending lots on running clothes and shoes. I've always had WAY more training and racing shoes than I need. Ditto clothing. And don't strain to buy any of it on sale or clearance.
BUT, when I see simple shirts for $60-80...wow. And pretty much daily there is new such stuff at Running Warehouse. A little gross, strange that people pay it, etc.

Oh, and ditto $85 "racing shorts" from Nike. I guess the swoosh being vertical is worth at least $25 extra.
I got a pair of running shorts (I don't remember the specific model. I liked them but the draw string broke after a few weeks- of wearing them about once a week. It wasn't the kind of draw string that went all around the shorts so I couldn't replace it.
But, they were comfortable but the price wasn't justified by comfort.
I have not enjoyed their shoes for running. So, I haven't bought any of their clothing. There's so much competition out there that I don't see a need to buy from a company I've already had negative experiences with.

I feel similarly but I also rarely see the quality stuff discounted. I've had some of my running shirts since I started running almost 15 years ago and seeing how a $30 shirt holds up vs an $80 (plus the feel of it over time) make them worth it for me.

I bought an On shirt at the store in Zurich (for kicks while on vacation) and so far it holds up. I still don't know what to think about the shoes though.
I've bought similarly priced clothes from Saucony and Sweaty Betty, and they stand the test of time -- I mean years. My Lululemon shirt ripped after two washings though.
