So you’re planning a trip to Rovaniemi or Levi?

Congratulations — you’re about to enter a world of magical snow, Northern Lights… and temperatures that make your eyebrows freeze together if you blink too slowly.

This guide covers the tips you need to know about renting winter outfits in Lapland, how to layer correctly, what temperatures to expect, and how to stay warm without looking like a walking sleeping bag. Winterent to the rescue.

Why Rent Your Lapland Outfit Instead of Buying?

Because your suitcase deserves good decisions.

Save money: You won’t use Arctic-level gear again unless you’re from Svalbard.
High-quality gear: Proper insulation, waterproofing, and windproof materials tested in real Lapland conditions.
Sustainable travel: Renting reduces textile waste and carbon footprint.
Fits on every trip: No need to fly with 12 kg of jackets and boots.

Actual Winter Temperatures in Rovaniemi and Levi (Yes… it gets cold)

Lapland winter usually means:

December–February: –10°C to –25°C
Cold nights: –30°C is not rare
Wind chill: unofficially known as “why did I come outside?”

Even if the forecast says “only –12°C,” remember: humidity + Arctic wind = “feels like –25°C.”

The Perfect Lapland Layering System (No, jeans are not warm)

Getting the right layers is the difference between enjoying your reindeer safari… and crying silently into your frozen scarf.

1. Base Layer (the most important!)

Think of this as your second skin — but one you actually like.

This layer’s job is to keep moisture away from your body. Sweat in winter = fast freezing.

Which is why:

Merino wool = best friend
Synthetic thermal underwear = also good
Cotton = absolutely not

Cotton absorbs water, stays wet, and then turns into a personal cooling system under your clothes.

If cotton could speak, it would say: “I hope you enjoy being cold.”

2. Mid Layer

This is your insulation, the warm hug that keeps heat close to your body.

Options that work perfectly in –10°C to –25°C:

Fleece jacket or fleece sweater
Merino or wool knit
Lightweight down or padded mid-layer

Your mid layer should feel warm but breathable — not suffocating.

Too thick and you’ll sweat. Too thin and you’ll regret it. Choose balance.

3. Outer Layer — Where Winterent Clothing Shines

This is your armour. Your shield. Your “I can do anything in Lapland” layer.

Winterent’s jackets and trousers are:

Windproof (YOU may not see the wind… but it definitely sees YOU)
Waterproof (for snowstorms, sleet, and accidental snow angel attempts)
Insulated for –30°C
Comfortable to move in (you will walk, climb, sit, glide, slide — all of it)
Designed for real Arctic use
