[QUOTE="MZMpac, post: 1322403, member: 99289"] Another medical provider here, also agree. They are garbage. You cannot re-create the effects of altitude (lower partial pressure of oxygen) with a mask that essentially makes you re-breathe expelled Co2 and vapor. It does not change the partial pressure of oxygen. If you live at lower altitudes, your best approach will be to train your endurance system with some combination of running, hiking or stairmaster, and hiking or stairmaster with a load. Try to arrive at your destination at least a couple days early to get a head start on acclimation. There is a drug called acetazolamide you can ask your physician about that can ameliorate the acclimation process. [/QUOTE]
