Product Information
Full details
The Toby Tiger Whale Waves Print Rash Vest is designed for active children aged 5-6 who need reliable sun protection during water play. It provides essential UPF 50+ sun protection while remaining comfortable for all-day wear thanks to its soft, OEKO-TEX-certified fabric. While it offers excellent coverage, parents should note that it is designed as a standalone vest and requires coordinating shorts for a complete swim set.

FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric allows only 1/50th of the sun's UV radiation to reach the skin, providing excellent protection against sun damage.
Is the fabric suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the vest uses OEKO-TEX-certified fabric, which is tested to be free from harmful levels of chemicals, making it gentle on delicate skin.
Can I put this in the dryer?
It is best to air dry the garment. Tumble drying can damage the synthetic fibers and affect the UPF rating over time.
Does this vest come with shorts?
No, this product is the rash vest only. You may purchase matching swim shorts separately to complete the look.
How should I wash it?
The vest is machine washable at 30°C. We recommend washing with similar colors to keep the orange vibrant.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels tight after swimming
Ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed in fresh water after saltwater or chlorine exposure to prevent salt or chemical residue buildup.
Print fading over time
Always wash inside out and avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can accelerate fading of the vibrant colors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a pull-over style rash vest, it is easy to put on and remove, even when wet. It is compatible with most standard swim trunks or board shorts. To ensure longevity, machine wash the garment at 30°C. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents, as these can degrade the UPF protective coating and the recycled material structure. Air drying in the shade is recommended to preserve the elasticity of the fabric and prevent unnecessary UV damage to the print.
