I have pondered the Argon thing, sometimes I felt that it made a difference, other times I don't. The fact that I think like this kinda adds up to the fact that it doesn't really make any difference at all, and it is down to me feeling cold on some days and not on others.

I read somewhere (again I cant remember where, but Ill try) that one of the Navys did a study and decided no point using Argon and instead use air.

Ill try and find it.
