Rash Vests for Boys Aged 2 to 8
MINOTI rash vests are made for boys aged 2 to 8, from the first seaside holidays to swimming lessons with school. A rash vest is a close-fitting stretch top worn in the water. It covers the shoulders and arms, which catch the sun while a child digs in the sand or splashes in the shallows, and it stops a bodyboard rubbing his skin. Pair one with swim shorts from the same Swimwear section.
Pick the same size you would choose for his T-shirts. A 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm and a 7-year-old usually takes 128 cm. A rash vest should sit snugly, because a loose one fills with water and rides up. After the sea or a chlorinated pool, rinse it in clean water, then follow the care label before machine washing. For older boys, see the Teens rash vests.

Your questions answered
MINOTI rash vests for boys aged 2 to 8 are close-fitting stretch tops for swimming and beach play, sized by height in centimetres, and a 6-year-old boy usually takes 122 cm.
What size rash vest should I buy for a 5-year-old boy?
Most 5-year-olds take 116 cm. If he is tall for his age or near the top of that size, go up one to 122 cm, but avoid going bigger than that, as a baggy vest lets water in.
Does a 3-year-old still need sun cream under a rash vest?
A 3-year-old still needs sun cream on any skin the vest leaves bare, such as his face, neck, hands and legs. Reapply every two hours and after towelling dry, and check each product page for that vest's own sun protection details.
