The Toby Tiger Whale Waves Print Rash Vest is designed for active children who enjoy water play, providing essential sun protection while ensuring comfort and ease of movement. Featuring a fun, ocean-inspired print, this vest is ideal for parents looking for eco-conscious swimwear made from recycled materials; however, note that it is a pull-on garment and does not feature front zippers, which may be a consideration for younger children getting dressed independently.

It means the textile has been tested and certified to be free from harmful levels of substances that could be dangerous to human health.
While the primary purpose is sun protection, wearing a long-sleeved rash vest provides a physical barrier that can offer some protection against minor stings and abrasions.
It is recommended to air dry the vest. High heat from tumble dryers can damage the elasticity and the integrity of the recycled polyester fibers.
The size 5-6 is designed for typical children within that age range; however, since it is a fitted garment, check the size chart if your child is between sizes.
The high-quality polyester is designed to be colorfast, but rinsing the vest in fresh water after use in chlorinated pools will help preserve the print vibrancy.
Ensure the vest is not left in direct sunlight to dry for extended periods; a gentle shake or air drying in the shade will maintain fabric softness.
The best practice is to have the child put the vest on while dry before entering the water, as the friction of wet polyester against wet skin makes the garment harder to slide on.
Because this is a standard pull-on rash vest, no assembly or complex setup is required. To maintain the integrity of the UPF protection and the fabric's elasticity, machine wash the garment at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents or high-heat tumble drying, as these can degrade the recycled synthetic fibers over time. Ensure the vest is rinsed with fresh water after use in salt or chlorinated water to prolong the life of the fabric.
