Rovaniemi: Rent Winter Clothing Sets

Rovaniemi winter gear rental solves a very real Lapland problem: how to stay warm without filling your suitcase with bulky clothing. Winterent prepares your set in advance, so you can arrive at Jaakonkatu 3, try everything on, and get outside quickly.

I like the practical 24-hour rental system and the choice of store collection or hotel delivery. I also like that the service covers adults and children, with sizes up to 7XL for jackets and boots from EU 23 to EU 49. The main caution is that the set is outerwear, not a complete cold-weather system. You still need base layers, and some people found the boots less reliable than the jacket and trousers.

Key points to know before booking

• Designed for minus 20 and colder: The jacket, trousers, boots, and mittens are intended for Arctic winter conditions, though your layers still matter.
• Prepared to your measurements: Send each person’s name, height, weight, age, and EU shoe size before arrival.
• Easy Rovaniemi collection: Pick up your labeled clothing at Winterent, Jaakonkatu 3, during opening hours.
• Hotel delivery costs extra: Delivery and pickup are available to hotels and other accommodations for an additional fee.
• Adults and children are covered: Adult jackets run from 2XS to 7XL, while children’s equipment includes overalls, boots, mittens, and tube scarves.
• Check your boots carefully: Free size exchanges are available at the store, so do not leave without testing the fit.

Why renting makes sense in Rovaniemi

A Lapland trip often includes snowmobile outings, reindeer visits, Northern Lights hunting, forest walks, city strolling, and long waits outside. Even a short outdoor activity can feel much longer when your fingers and toes are cold.

Buying a complete Arctic outfit for one holiday is expensive. Packing one is awkward. A warm jacket, snow trousers, boots, mittens, and scarf can take up a large part of your luggage, especially when every member of the family needs a set.

For around $54 per person, Winterent gives you the core outerwear for one to ten days. That price makes the most sense if you are visiting from a mild climate, lack proper snow boots, or have children who will outgrow the clothing before the next winter trip.

The value improves for a multi-day stay. One day costs the listed rate, but you can use the clothing for up to ten days by choosing the correct rental period. Keep in mind that each rental day means a full 24-hour period. Returning the set late on the final day adds a €13 charge for another day.

This is not the cheapest option for someone who already owns a proper ski jacket, insulated trousers, winter boots, and serious mittens. For everyone else, it can be a sensible way to avoid buying gear for a single visit.

What comes in the adult winter set

The adult unisex set includes five useful pieces:

• A warm winter jacket
• Insulated winter trousers
• Snow boots
• Snow mittens
• A tube scarf

The design is intended as a more modern alternative to the traditional one-piece overall. The separate jacket and trousers are useful if you are walking around Rovaniemi, going out for dinner, or moving between indoor and outdoor activities. You can remove one piece as conditions change instead of wearing a full suit all day.

The listed adult jacket range is 2XS through 7XL. Adult snow boots run from EU 35 through EU 49. This is a broad range, but shoe fit is still the part I would check most carefully.

Several people found the clothing warm and comfortable in temperatures around minus 15 to minus 30 Celsius. One person who gets cold easily said the suit kept them warm at minus 20. Another used it during ice fishing at minus 15 and stayed comfortable.

Those are encouraging signs, but do not treat the outfit as magic armor. You need thermal underwear beneath it, particularly if you will stand still for long periods. A hat or beanie is not included, and neither are base layers. Both can be bought separately.

Children’s sizes and family planning

Renting children’s gear is one of the strongest reasons to consider this service. A child’s winter outfit takes up nearly as much packing space as an adult one, yet may only be used for a few days.

The children’s set includes an overall, mittens, snow boots, and a tube scarf. The supplied size details show some variation: one description lists overalls from 80 to 130 cm, while the important information gives overall sizes from 90 to 135 cm. It also lists thermal trousers from 140 to 164 cm, with children’s gloves and boots from EU 23 to EU 35.

Because of that difference, enter accurate measurements and confirm the available size for your child before travel. Winterent asks for each person’s height, weight, shoe size, and age so the correct items can be packed before arrival.

The store can exchange sizes free of charge. This matters for children, who often need a different boot size or a roomier overall than expected. Allow time to have every child try on the clothing before heading to an activity.

Parents also benefit from the staff’s practical approach. Size adjustments for children have been handled patiently, and the collection process is often completed in about ten minutes when the order is ready.

Collecting the set at Jaakonkatu 3

The Winterent store is at Jaakonkatu 3, 96200 Rovaniemi. You can collect your prepared clothing during opening hours on the first day of your rental.

The smoothest plan is to submit complete measurements in advance. Include the first name, height in centimeters, weight in kilograms, EU shoe size, and age for every person in the booking. This lets the staff prepare the correct bags rather than sizing your whole party from scratch.

At collection, try on the jacket, trousers, boots, mittens, and scarf. Pay special attention to the boots. Your toes should have enough room to move, but your heel should not slide around. Thick socks take up space, so try the boots with the type of socks you expect to wear outdoors.

If something is wrong, ask for a size exchange before leaving. The exchange is free at the store, and this is far better than discovering during a Northern Lights outing that your boots pinch or your trousers restrict movement.

The store setup appears designed for speed. Clothing is packed and waiting, which is useful if you have a timed activity soon after arrival. Still, I would not schedule collection at the last possible minute. A short fitting check gives you room to fix a size problem.

Hotel delivery and pickup

Delivery and pickup are available to hotels and accommodations in Rovaniemi for an extra fee. This is a strong option if you arrive late, have young children, use a wheelchair, or simply do not want to carry several bags across town.

The delivery service has been especially useful for people with limited luggage space and tight schedules. The clothing arrives prepared to the measurements you provided, and the return collection removes another errand from your final day.

The tradeoff is cost. The base rental price does not include delivery or pickup, so compare the extra fee with the time and transport needed to reach Jaakonkatu 3. For one adult staying near the store, collection may be the better value. For a family with several sets, hotel service may be worth paying for.

Contact Winterent if you want this option. It is not automatically part of the clothing rental.

How warm is the equipment?

The strongest part of the set is its protection from wind, snow, and low temperatures. The jacket and trousers are described as waterproof and windproof, and many people have used them successfully in temperatures of minus 20 or lower.

The separate trousers are also practical for active outings. You can move more freely than in a bulky one-piece suit, and the outfit works for city walks as well as outdoor activities.

Warmth depends on what you wear underneath. Start with a thermal base layer, add a warm mid-layer if needed, and avoid cotton as your only layer because it holds moisture. These rental sets do not include base layers, so bring or buy your own.

The mittens are part of the package, but hand protection is personal. If you plan to spend a long time outside taking photographs, handling equipment, or waiting for the Northern Lights, you may prefer your own gloves or a spare pair.

Boots deserve the most careful judgment. Some people found them light, warm, and suitable for snowy conditions. Others found the fit painful or felt the boots did not offer enough protection for independent outdoor activities. Fit can vary from person to person, so use the free exchange option rather than accepting an uncomfortable pair.

Using the clothes around Lapland

This rental is not tied to one guided excursion. You have the clothing for the full period you book, from one to ten days.

That makes it useful for a mixed itinerary. Wear the set for a Northern Lights outing, then use it the next morning for a walk around Rovaniemi. It can also cover outdoor fun, snowy sightseeing, and a night out in town when normal winter clothing would not be warm enough.

The jacket and trousers are less formal than ordinary city clothes, but the modern look makes them easier to wear around town than a highly technical one-piece suit. The clothing is black or dark in appearance, based on the available design and sizing information, so it is practical rather than brightly styled.

The clothing is also a backup for activity bookings. Some Lapland excursions provide their own protective clothing, but having your own rental set means you are not dependent on what each operator supplies. That said, you may not need the full set on an excursion that already includes a thermal suit and boots.

What is not included

The package covers the main outer layer, but you need to plan the smaller items.

Not included are:

• Base layers
• A beanie
• Delivery and pickup
• Any optional purchases from the store

You can buy base layers and a beanie separately, but packing them from home is often cheaper. Bring wool or synthetic socks, thermal underwear, a warm hat, and any personal gloves you prefer.

The tube scarf is included and helps protect your neck and lower face. It is not a substitute for a hat. Heat loss from your head can make the rest of the outfit feel less effective.

Also remember that the set is rented equipment. Return all pieces together, ideally in the same bag, and check that no mittens or scarves have been left in a hotel room or activity vehicle.

Timing, returns, and the late fee

The first rental day is a 24-hour period, not simply the calendar date. You can collect the clothing at any time during store opening hours on that first day.

Plan the return around the same timing. If you hand the clothing back after the 24-hour period on the final day, Winterent charges €13 for an additional day. This is easy to avoid if you know your departure plans before booking.

The return process is intended to be simple, but keep your receipt or return confirmation until the rental is closed. One person had a follow-up message saying the clothing had not been returned, even though it had been handed back on time. That appears to have been an administrative mistake, but it is a good reason to confirm the handover.

Accessibility and booking flexibility

The activity is listed as wheelchair accessible, and service is available in English. The reserve-now, pay-later option lets you hold the booking without paying immediately, which is useful when your Lapland schedule is still changing.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the rental for a full refund. Check the timing carefully, especially if your accommodation or flights are not fixed.

The booking process asks for detailed information from every participant. Enter measurements in centimeters and kilograms, and shoe sizes in EU sizing. Accurate details matter more than guessing from age or clothing labels.

Who should rent from Winterent?

I would recommend this rental most strongly to:

• Families who do not want to pack several complete snow outfits
• Visitors arriving from warm climates
• Anyone without insulated snow boots
• People staying in Rovaniemi for several days
• Those who want one set for both activities and city use
• Visitors who value hotel delivery and pickup

It is less useful if you already own high-quality ski clothing and winter boots. It may also be unnecessary for a short activity where the operator supplies a full thermal suit.

For children, the convenience is hard to ignore. For adults, the decision depends on your existing gear and how much time you plan to spend outdoors.

Should you book this clothing rental?

Book it if you want to travel light and avoid buying Arctic clothing for one trip. The preparation is simple, the store collection is quick, and the jacket and trousers have handled very cold conditions well for many users. Hotel delivery and pickup can make the service even easier for families.

I would book with two cautions. First, pack your own thermal layers and beanie. Second, test the boots carefully at collection and exchange them immediately if the fit is wrong.

At $54 per person, this is good value for a multi-day Rovaniemi stay, particularly when luggage space is limited. It is not a complete winter wardrobe, but it gives you the main protection you need without asking you to buy a suitcase full of gear.
