“Fabric gets LOTS of static cling”

“The material feels good to the touch but then when I put these pants on, they have more static than any other item of clothing I have ever owned. I keep washing them, and trying it again, and it is totally laughable. I finally took them out running in a rainstorm, and they stopped clinging to my legs after about 20 minutes. When I say "clinging", I mean that 80% of the fabric of the pants is plastered to my legs, the whole time I wear them. I wonder if the people who like these pants use a heavy duty fabric softener or something else that stops them from doing this thing. Maybe so. But I'm not going to change my laundry products just to make these pants wearable!”
