Reduced Temperature Tolerance (Smaller Comfort Zone Range)?

Personally I'd would buy loads of TT (And radiation tolerance and pressure support) if I was taking ItMH. Sure that +15 means that most of the time you'll only fail on a 17-18 (1 time in 54) but when you fail you lose one point of HT permanently!

Consider:

ItMH man and Normal man spend 12 hours at between 34F to 0F. If we allow Normal man to wear winter clothing then he'll only fail on 16-18 and lose some FP. If we just allow him normal clothing he'll lose 12 FP and 2 HP, 4 days to recover.

ItMH man only fails on 17-18, but if he fails he lose a point of HT. The odds of him making all 24 rolls are (53/54)^24 or 63.85% or 36.14% that he will fail some of those rolls and lose some HT. An Over 1/3 chance of permanently losing HT for spending a cold night outside!
