While the Training Mask is a great way to prepare for high altitude sports and climbing, it’s also beneficial to just about any type of athlete from any discipline. Training with the mask can:

- Condition the lungs by creating pulmonary resistance
- Strengthen the diaphragm
- Increase surface area and elasticity in alveoli
- Increase lung capacity
- Increase anaerobic thresholds
- Decrease workout time

Years of research and development went into perfecting the Elevation Training Mask 2.0, including clinical tests by the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology and studies by the American Council on Exercise. The central scientific principle is "Diaphragm Resistance Technology.” This effectively means that the mask promotes increased lung capacity by forcing you to inhale fuller deeper breaths as you train. When your body adapts to the resistance, your lungs begin to transport oxygen more efficiently. Long term result: improved lung and diaphragm strength and increased stamina.

The new Elevation Training Mask 2.0 is available in three sizes and features a more streamlined, comfortable silicone construction that covers only the nose and mouth and doesn’t affect visibility. A new neoprene strap overlays the air-tight silicone piece for a stable but comfortable hold. For easy cleaning after use, add a bottle of Elevation Mask Cleaning Spray to your order (NOT machine washable).

Much like the 5.11 Rogue Tactical Vest, the Elevation Training Mask is a game-changing accessory that simply amplifies your normal training routine. There aren’t special “Training Mask Exercises” you need to learn. However, there ARE important safety precautions. Most notably, using the mask can require some adjustment / acclamation time. Beginners should start on the 3,000' elevation setting and spend several minutes with basic deep breathing and walking before moving on to other exercises.

Your order ships with everything you need to get started with the Training Mask, including the full six-piece set of removable Air Resistance Caps. The arrangement of these caps enables you to customize the “Activated Resistance Level” at 3x, 6x, 9x, 12x, 15x, or 18x. The full kit features:

- 6 Air Resistance Caps
- 3 Base Pieces with flux valve plungers
- 1 Silicone Training Mask
- 1 Neoprene Sleeve
- 1 Brochure / Instructional booklet
- 1 Certificate of Authenticity
