I have not tried it no, but I did recently get a silnylon poncho and cuben stuff sack from him and I was very happy with both. The guy takes pride in his sewing.

I'm also interested to hear what people think of his wind shell as based on my recent purchase I would be happy to get more from him if he has stuff I need.

I don't have a LUL windshell made from Argon, but I do from Nobul1. The fit is really good, and craftsmanship is nice also. According to Richard, Argon 67/90 both breathe really well so keep that in mind.

Like others, I haven't used that particular piece, but I also have a sil rain shell from him, and like others, I agree, he pays great attention to detail and does some nice work.

I have an older model (so I'm pretty sure it's not Argon, but not positive) and like it a lot.

It is definitely well-made and very light, with a great fitting hood. If you like your clothes baggy, this isn't for you as it fits nice, yet allows me to wear my Montbell UL or ExLight pieces underneath.

My one complaint is very minor. In fact I wouldn't call it a complaint, but rather, an observation: While put together perfectly for my use, the zipper "curls" to one side starting about 4" from the top. So it doesn't look like it came from Montbell's factory, but I rate my piece very highly.

I hope this helps, even though you asked about the argon! I do not know how mine compares to argon.

I have an Argon wind shell from Luke. I really like the craftsmsnship. It fits really well. The fabric is nice. What I liked was I was able to ensure that the body length was adaquate as well as sleeve length. I have several things from Luke. I am always happy with his work.
