You already know we are fans of Argon Gas and its ability to keep us warm with the Klymit Kinetic Vest Series, but that is not all.  Klymit has effectively taken Argon gas and harnessed its insulation properties into products that are prepped for any outdoor test. Well, Klymit certainly isn’t alone when looking at this gas and utilizing it for  consumer products and benefits. The Green  building movement, particularly insulated windows, are also channeling this noble gas for its thermal conductivity properties.  

Windows have come a long way recently with the use of insulating with Argon Gas. Window companies previously insulated with air, but now are finding the benefits of using Argon Gas to be superior.  Argon Gas vs. air filled windows are proficient at slowing the heat of summer or cold of the winter by slowing the transfer over the inside pane of glass. Normal air is so light that air tends to circulate  from hot to cold rapidly. With Argon gas being 5 times heavier than air it limits the amount of total movement  of the gas which further enhances the windows insulation level. Argon gas is so effective for window insulation because it minimizes the convection currents and overall heat transfer between the inside temperature and outside.

Most homes are now built or remodeled with double or triple panes.  Argon is the most commonly used fill gas, due to its proficient thermal performance and cost-efficiency compared to other gas fills.  Argon gas filled windows have huge potential to save homeowners a considerable amount on energy bills and over time the savings will result in a long term savings in costs.  . This odorless, colorless gas is inserted between panes of glass increases the windows efficiency and reducing conductive heat transfer. In addition, Argon gas is a naturally occurring component in the atmosphere making it non-toxic  and 100% safe.

As the government-backed trustworthy symbol for energy efficiency and a great source on products, the Energy Star label summarizes highly efficient products and designates superior energy performance in homes and buildings. The Energy Star label with insulated windows is enticing home owners and builders to  look at installing Argon insulated windows. With the trustworthy Energy Star label, users can benefit from tax breaks, long term savings and lower energy bills. Argon gas is just one aspect that is important for new windows.

Klymit is on the cutting edge of using their patent pending NobleTek insulation and harnessing the power of Argon gas in our Kinetic Vest Line series. With Argon gas trapped inside airtight, breathable chambers built into the vest lining, users can control their core temperature easily by inflating gas into the vest when cold and deflating when too hot. This insulation has been proven to be warmer than other insulators, like down, and is unique because it is thinner, lightweight, wind-proof, stays warm when wet and retain loft when inflated. Early testers have claimed Klymit  with its patent pending technology, NobleTek, as the warmest insulator out there.
Klymit is in good company and joining the ranks with the green builders and utilizing alternative energy. Being on the forefront of harnessing new technologies from naturally occurring gases from the earth, for the benefit of a greener future and warmer outdoor adventures.

Holler for a Greener Future!
