On was founded in 2010 in Zurich by Olivier Bernhard — a former Ironman and duathlon world champion — together with David Allemann and Caspar Coppetti. Bernhard had prototyped the first CloudTec sole by gluing cut sections of garden hose to the bottom of a running shoe; the hollow rubber pods compressed on landing and locked firm for push-off, and the idea scaled. The brand still runs its R&D out of Zurich and has been listed on the NYSE since September 2021.
The Race Tights Half is On's racing half-tight — 115 g, 10-inch inseam, 73/27 polyamide/elastane main fabric with a recycled-polyamide waistband, zipped back pocket for gels and keys, adjustable cord. Made in Portugal. The full-length Race Tights follow the same construction language with a wintered-out inseam. Cut for race compression, not warmth. Race Tights Half — 115 g, 10-inch inseam, 73/27 polyamide/elastane main with a recycled-polyamide waistband. Made in Portugal.
In On's racing kit, the Race Tight sits as the compression piece — polyamide/elastane, zip back pocket, a cut focused on locking the legs in at half-marathon-and-up pace rather than everyday training.
