Rovaniemi: Rent Winter Clothing Sets

Arctic cold is easier to enjoy when you are not worrying about whether your own coat can handle it. Winterent rents practical winter sets in Rovaniemi for city walks, Northern Lights outings, and other outdoor plans, so you can leave bulky gear at home.

I like two things in particular: the set covers the main outerwear and footwear in one go, and the shop can prepare sizes in advance from your measurements. If something does not fit, you can exchange it at the store without charge. That makes this a tidy solution for a short Lapland trip, especially when suitcase space is tight.

One caveat: this is not a complete cold-weather wardrobe. Base layers and a beanie are not included, and warm outerwear alone may not be enough in deep cold. Allow time to check the fit of the boots and plan what you will wear underneath.

Key points before you book

• One set covers the bulky essentials: Adults get a jacket, trousers, snow boots, mittens, and a tube scarf. Children get an overall, boots, mittens, and a tube scarf.
• Your measurements help the shop prepare: Provide each person’s name, height, weight, shoe size, and age when booking.
• Try the fit before heading out: Exchanges are free at the Rovaniemi store, and staff can help adjust sizes.
• Delivery is convenient but costs extra: Collect at Jaakonkatu 3, or arrange paid delivery and pickup at your accommodation.
• A rental day means 24 hours: Return the clothing after the final 24-hour period and an extra day costs €13.
• You still need warm layers: Base layers and a beanie are not part of the set.

A practical answer to Lapland’s cold

The point of renting is simple: you get the bulky outerwear needed for a winter stay without hauling it through airports and packing it into your luggage. At a listed price of $54 per person, this can be especially useful if you do not already own reliable winter boots, insulated trousers, or a substantial jacket.

The set is intended for a range of plans, from strolling around Rovaniemi to spending time outdoors in Arctic conditions. It is also presented as a more modern-looking alternative to the traditional one-piece overall for adults. That gives you a bit more flexibility in how you dress, though the best outfit still depends on the weather and what you plan to do.

Winterent operates in several places beyond Rovaniemi, including Levi, Saariselkä, Ruka, Helsinki, Haparanda, and Reykjavik. For this booking, the relevant collection point is the Rovaniemi shop at Jaakonkatu 3, 96200 Rovaniemi.

What comes in each clothing set

An adult set includes a warm winter jacket, winter trousers, snow boots, mittens, and a tube scarf. The jacket and trousers are separate pieces, which makes it easier to adjust your outfit than a single all-in-one suit. The clothing is described as waterproof and windproof, with insulation for cold conditions.

Children’s sets use an overall instead of separate trousers and jacket. They also include snow boots, mittens, and a tube scarf. Families can give the shop each child’s height, weight, shoe size, and age in advance, which helps staff prepare the right gear and makes a quick collection more likely.

There are no base layers or beanies in either set. Bring your own thermal underwear and warm hat, or check whether you can buy these separately. This matters: a protective outer layer keeps out wind and snow, but it does not replace the layers that help keep you warm underneath.

Sizing information is not entirely consistent across the provided details. Adult jackets are listed from 2XS to 7XL, adult boots from EU 35 to EU 49, and the set is also described as available up to 6XL. Children’s size ranges are likewise presented in more than one way. Send accurate measurements when booking, and confirm the available size for your party if you have a particular concern.

Collection, fitting, and the first outing

The store asks for names, heights in centimetres, weights in kilograms, EU shoe sizes, and ages. With those details, staff can have the sets ready when you arrive. The store is open for collection during its opening hours, and you can pick up your gear at any time on your first rental day while the shop is open.

Plan a little time to try the whole set on rather than simply grabbing the bag and leaving. Check that the boots feel comfortable, the trousers sit properly, and the jacket allows you to move easily. The staff can exchange sizes at the shop free of charge, a useful option for adults and children alike. A small sizing adjustment at the start is far better than discovering a problem during a long outdoor outing.

The clothing is packed for your arrival, and collection is intended to be straightforward. If you are travelling with children, that preparation can make the handover calmer: the shop has your measurements, and you can focus on checking fit rather than sorting through every size from scratch.

Delivery can save time, but it costs extra

You can collect the clothes yourself at Jaakonkatu 3 or arrange delivery and pickup at your hotel or other accommodation. That service is not included in the rental price, so account for the extra fee when comparing it with a shop visit.

Delivery may be worth paying for if your schedule is tight, your accommodation is not convenient to the store, or you would rather avoid carrying a set around town. It can also simplify the return at the end of your rental. If you are staying nearby and have time, collecting and returning the clothes yourself is the lower-cost option.

Arrange delivery and pickup directly with Winterent. Do not assume it is automatically added when you book the clothing set. The rental itself is available from one to ten days, and the stated price for each rental day covers a 24-hour period.

Dressing for real cold, not just the forecast

The clothing is designed for winter conditions, and the set includes the key outer layer pieces. Still, do not treat the rental as a substitute for your own thermal underwear. Wear suitable base layers beneath the jacket and trousers, and bring a hat that covers your head comfortably. Mittens are included, but you may want to consider your own gloves or mittens if you know you need a particular fit or extra warmth.

Cold tolerance varies, and so do activities. A city stroll is not the same as standing still outdoors for a long stretch. Several people have found the clothing warm in temperatures around minus 20°C, while one person found the protection insufficient. That difference is a good reminder to layer sensibly and not rely on a single outfit to suit every person and every length of time outside.

Boot fit deserves special attention. Some people have found the boots light and warm; others have had trouble with fit or comfort. Try them on in the shop, check that your toes have room, and ask to exchange them if they feel too tight or loose. A warm boot that hurts your feet is not a good bargain.

Is $54 per person good value?

The listed price is $54 per person, and the rental can last from one to ten days. The value depends on what you already own and how much luggage space matters to you. If you would otherwise buy or transport a heavy winter coat, snow trousers, and boots for a short trip, renting can be a sensible way to avoid both expense and baggage bulk.

The set also means fewer winter items to source after reaching Rovaniemi. If your own gear is thin or uncertain, having a prepared outfit can take some of the guesswork out of getting dressed for the cold. The extra cost for delivery may also be worthwhile if convenience matters more than making a trip to the shop.

There are limits to the value calculation. Base layers and a beanie are excluded, and delivery and pickup cost extra. You should also check the total for your chosen rental length before booking, since the price covers a 24-hour day and the final cost depends on the number of days. Returning after the last 24-hour period brings a €13 charge for an extra day.

Who will get the most from this rental

This is a good fit for people flying to Lapland with limited luggage space, families who need several sizes of winter clothing, and anyone who does not own proper snow boots or insulated outerwear. It can also suit you if you want to try a full set before deciding whether to buy similar gear for future trips.

It may be less useful if you already have comfortable, weather-ready clothing, especially boots that you know fit well. If you are particular about footwear or have a very low tolerance for cold, bring your own proven items where practical and use the rental for the pieces you lack.

The store’s size exchange option is valuable, but it is not a reason to skip the fit check. A few minutes at collection can make the difference between clothing that helps you enjoy being outside and a boot problem you have to manage all day.

Booking and return details to keep in mind

You can reserve now and pay later, which keeps the booking flexible. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours in advance. The activity is offered in English and is listed as wheelchair accessible.

Return the clothes within the 24-hour period for your final rental day. If you return them later, an extra day costs €13. Keep the return bag and make sure all the pieces go back together; a quick check at handover helps avoid confusion about what you have returned.

Should you book it?

Book this if you want to travel lighter and need reliable winter outerwear without buying a full set for one trip. The ready-to-collect clothing, free size exchanges at the shop, and optional accommodation delivery make the process practical, particularly for families or groups with different sizes.

Think twice if your own boots are more comfortable, or if you expect the included clothing to replace thermal layers. The best approach is to rent the bulky pieces you lack, bring your own base layers and hat, and check every fit before leaving the shop. With those expectations, this is a useful bit of preparation for enjoying Rovaniemi in winter.
