Tactical Distributors has developed their own 5-level clothing system called MTHD.
MTHD [pronounced either by the initials or as the word “Method”] stands for “Mountain | Tundra | H20 | Desert”. We like to think of it as a cross-category, tactical-inspired outdoor brand. Our slogan is “technically advanced layering systems for global climate zones”. We start with [L1] base layers and work our way up to [L5] weather-proof shells.
While the clothing is manufactured in China to control costs, this direct-to-consumer line doesn’t skimp on the materials.
MTHD uses reputable partner brands like eVent® fabrics, Polartec®, Cordura®, Global Merino and other Bluesign® approved fabric and trim suppliers to build the product. They are not only the most technically innovative brands available but are also pushing the envelope in sustainability.
Below are some examples of some of the clothing. The stuff I purchased is well made, comfortable, and the fit is true.
One of the cool features is the shoulder markings.
Currently, levels 1-3 are available. Get yours at www.tacticaldistributors.com/collections/mthd.
Great looking Gear ! Awesome to see new innovative designs in those layers.
I’m wearing the L1 Merino long sleeve shirt as I type this. It’s well made and well thought out. The shape and position of the thumb holes, parallel to the cuff as opposed to perpendicular, make them comfortable enough to use beyond just putting the mid and outer layers on. It’s soft and not itchy. The anatomical shaping is extra comfortable. The topo print looks cool and it looks good as a casual shirt as well; since it’s Merino it thermoregulates well and you won’t get too hot and regret doing so. It’s a surprisingly nice shirt for the price point. I own a bunch of long and short sleeve Merino shirts from Icebreaker and Smart Wool, but the MTHD offerings have really impressed me.
Is the nylon face fabric as shiny as it looks in photos? Regardless, good looking line. i’d like to see what the 4th and 5th levels look like.
