about us

Our company offers customers a unique hat for the great outdoors.

The MultiKap hat was designed by John Vanderwees, the owner of Vanderwees Home & Garden, a gardener and outdoor enthusiast. This unique hat protects the wearer against sun and insects, while being easily adaptable to suit a variety of outdoor activites.

Our hats are made of waterproof, durable materials, and offer a unique 3-in-1 design that allows the wearer to add and remove components easily. The extra large brim and snap-on sunshield protect you from the sun’s harmful rays, while the insect netting provides a comfortable barrier from bugs, without being close to your face.The original design for this hat began in 2011 when John Vanderwees was looking for the perfect outdoor hat, both for himself and for his garden centre customers.

When he could not find a hat on the market that met his expectations, he designed his own. The MultiKap hat was created in 2012 and has been tested in a variety of outdoor activities.The hat is available in Camo, Blue and Pink. The pink MultiKap carriers the pink Breast Cancer Awareness ribben, and $0.50 from each sale of each hat will go to Breast Cancer research. Located in Northwestern Ontario, Vanderwees Home and Garden is also the home of the MultiKap hat.
