Anyone using altitude simulation system? How fast does hematocrite rise if you sleep in a tent or with mask? Anyone knows the prises?

Did it help you any, Did you find out how much it was to rent one for a month instead of having to buy one, since you wouldn't necessarily need to use one all the time?

It's unlikely that you'll experience a significant rise in Haematocrit training with altitude. They do (can) have some positive effects though and if you think the expense is worth it, go for it. My advice would be that if you are spending $$$ on a tent, you might as well spend more $$$ going to see the best qualified sports scientist (with coaching experience and knowledge of altitude training) you can find to map out a program for using the tent. DIY is not the best approach to this.
