Rent Winter Clothing in Rovaniemi – All Sizes & Ages
Book on Viator →Operated by Winterent · Bookable on Viator
Staying warm in Rovaniemi starts with what you wear. This winter clothing rental is built for real Lapland weather, whether you’re sightseeing Santa’s hometown, doing a husky day, or chasing northern lights. I like that the package comes ready to use with jacket, trousers, mittens, and snow boots—so you’re not piecing together a cold-weather outfit from scratch.
The second big win is the human side: the staff is known for being flexible about swapping sizes when something doesn’t fit. One consideration: the rental does not include hat, socks, snow goggles, or mid-layers, so you’ll need to pack or buy those layering pieces yourself.

Warm gear for Rovaniemi: what this rental really covers

Rovaniemi is not a place to wing it with fashion layers. Even when the forecast looks manageable, your day can mix long waits, cold wind, and sudden “why am I still outside?” moments. This rental is designed to stop that problem early: you get the core outerwear that blocks wind and holds warmth, plus boots and mittens that keep your hands and feet functional.
The rental bundle includes:
- winter jacket
- winter trousers
- mittens
- snow boots
That combination is the core of staying comfortable outdoors. Jackets and trousers do the big work of cutting wind and insulating you from the ground-level cold. Mittens matter because they protect fingers from numbness faster than thin gloves, and boots are the difference between “fine for photos” and “I can actually walk around.”
One helpful detail: the rental is offered for 1 to 30 days. That means it can work for a quick city visit or a longer Lapland trip where you might wear the gear for multiple excursions.

Winterent pickup at Jaakonkatu 3 and how sizing works
Your start point is Winterent at Jaakonkatu 3, 96200 Rovaniemi, Finland. The activity ends back at the same meeting point, so plan your return around that location.
Here’s how the process usually feels in practice:
- You book in advance and receive confirmation at booking time.
- You’ll get a mobile ticket, which you can use for your pickup.
- At pickup, you get geared up and confirm sizing.
The rental requires specific measurements/inputs for each person:
- name
- height (cm)
- weight (kg)
- shoe size (EU)
- age
That’s a big deal for kids. Winter clothing that fits well doesn’t just keep people warmer—it helps them move normally. When the trousers fit correctly at the waist and length, kids can run short distances without bunching fabric that creates cold spots. For adults, better trouser fit also makes it easier to get in and out of vehicles and to walk on snowy sidewalks without constantly readjusting.
What I’d do before you arrive: double-check your shoe size. In winter boots, small differences in fit can feel bigger. If you’re between sizes, it’s worth aiming for the size that matches your usual winter sock thickness—but remember socks are not included.
Delivery to your hotel: saving luggage space and stress

If you don’t want to carry bulky winter outerwear from your hotel to the store, this rental offers delivery and pickup. Delivery is available to hotels and accommodations.
This is especially smart if you’re doing:
- a first day of Santa-style activities in town
- an early morning excursion
- multiple days of moving between transport options
When winter gear is in your room, you can:
- try layers on once, then adjust before you go out
- avoid last-minute cold-weather scrambling
- keep your suitcase lighter and easier to manage
The rental is also listed as near public transportation, so even if you choose pickup-in-store, you should be able to reach Winterent without needing a car.
What’s included vs. what you must pack for real Arctic comfort
The rental’s included items cover the outer shell and the “touch points” that usually fail first in cold weather: hands and feet. But it’s missing a few pieces that you’ll need for proper layering.
Not included:
- hat
- socks
- snow goggles
- mid-layers
That means your cold-weather plan has to include a layering strategy you control. Here’s a practical way to think about it:
- Outer layer (jacket + trousers): keeps wind and snow out.
- Mid-layer (not included): traps warmth between your base layer and the outer layer.
- Hands: mittens are included, so you don’t need thin gloves for warmth.
- Feet: snow boots are included, but socks are still on you.
If you already own merino or synthetic winter base layers, this rental pairs well with them. If you don’t, consider buying socks and a warm hat locally before your first cold outing. You’ll get better comfort fast, and you won’t end up wearing a scarf as a hat because you forgot one small thing.
Snow goggles are also not included. If you’re going somewhere with blowing snow or you’re sensitive to bright glare on snow, plan to bring goggles or pick them up beforehand. If not, you’ll at least want something to protect your eyes while the light bounces off the snow all day.
How to use the gear for northern lights and husky days
This rental is designed for common Lapland winter activities, including city exploring, husky safaris, and northern lights hunting. The key is how those activities feel on your body.
- City exploring: you’ll likely walk more than you think, then stop often for photos. Good boots and well-fitted trousers prevent that damp, chilly feeling.
- Husky safaris: you may sit still while you move through snow. That’s where warm trousers and a wind-resistant jacket really help.
- Northern lights hunting: even if the air temperature isn’t extreme, your patience is. Long waits make warmth and wind protection matter more than during a fast-paced day.
One review detail worth paying attention to: customers specifically praised the clothing for coping in very cold conditions, including -30°C weather. That’s not a guarantee for every winter day, but it’s a sign the gear is meant for more than casual cold.
My best practical advice: dress for sitting still, not just moving. If you tend to feel cold in theaters and on long outdoor waits, you’ll likely want thicker mid-layers than you think under the jacket—even when you’re not shivering while walking.
Staff flexibility and the fit check that prevents cold surprises

A winter clothing rental can go one of two ways: you get the right sizes, or you spend your day fighting fabric and cold gaps. The standout strength here is that the staff is known for helping with size swaps when fit isn’t right.
In positive feedback, people described swapping sizes multiple times until things felt comfortable. That’s exactly what you want in a rental setup, because size charts don’t always match real bodies and kids change sizes quickly during a trip.
This is also where being prepared helps:
- Bring the exact shoe size you booked (EU sizing matters).
- If your child is between sizes, focus on what feels right at the waist and cuffs.
- Take a minute to check how the cuffs sit over gloves and mittens. A gap can turn into a cold wind funnel.
Also note: you’re renting a full set of outerwear essentials, so it should come out looking worn-in enough for comfort but clean and functional. If you see a problem (missing item, damaged seams, wrong size), bring it up right away at pickup rather than waiting until you’re outside.
A note on item changes: confirm before you rely on flexibility

There’s one caution worth taking seriously. One negative experience raised an issue about changing what was rented versus what the renter expected to receive. Whether that was a misunderstanding or not, the takeaway for you is simple: if you want any modification—like a specific piece swap—confirm it clearly before you finalize your pickup.
I suggest you do this checklist when you arrive:
- State exactly what you need and what’s included in your plan.
- Ask what substitutions are allowed for your booking.
- Confirm the outcome before you leave the store or before delivery is completed.
That way you won’t have to solve a cold-weather problem at the moment you’re trying to enjoy your trip.
Price and value: what $49.26 gets you in Rovaniemi
The price is listed at $49.26 per person with a duration that can range from 1 to 30 days (approx.). That wide range is important for value. If you’re only in Rovaniemi for one day or two, the rental is essentially a convenience fee that removes the hassle of buying and hauling winter outerwear. If you’re staying longer, it turns into a practical way to avoid paying full retail for coats and boots you won’t use again soon.
Where the value really shows up is in avoiding second-order costs:
- No need to buy a full set of winter boots for a short trip
- No need to buy a jacket and trousers that only fit for one season
- Less luggage weight and fewer carry-on gymnastics
Still, check your total kit cost. Since hats, socks, goggles, and mid-layers are not included, your true spend includes what you bring or buy locally. If you already have warm socks and a mid-layer, your cost stays close to the rental price. If you need to buy everything from scratch, compare the price of renting versus assembling your own kit.
Who should book this winter clothing rental
This rental fits best if you:
- want an easy, ready-to-wear setup for cold-weather activities
- need kids’ winter gear without hunting multiple stores
- don’t want to travel with bulky outerwear
- are doing outdoors time in Rovaniemi—city walking, husky days, and night-time viewing
It’s also set up to be simple for different needs:
- service animals are allowed
- most people can participate
- it’s near public transportation
If you already own high-quality winter boots and a truly warm insulated jacket that fits well, you might not need this. But most people underestimate how much cold affects feet and hands, and that’s exactly what a rental package handles.
Should you book this winter clothing rental in Rovaniemi?
Book it if you want comfort on day one, not a cold-weather experiment. The included essentials—jacket, trousers, mittens, and snow boots—solve the hardest parts of winter dressing fast. Add in hotel delivery options and the central Winterent location, and this becomes a low-stress way to enjoy Lapland without overpacking.
Skip or rethink it if:
- you don’t plan to bring or buy hat, socks, and mid-layers
- you’re expecting a highly customized item swap that isn’t clearly confirmed in advance
- you already have perfectly fitting winter outerwear and boots you trust for deep cold
If you’re going to spend time outside—especially for northern lights—this is the kind of practical booking that keeps your energy where it belongs: on the trip.
