Do I have to buy base layers or can I rent them?

Unfortunately, we do not rent out the base layers. We do have snowsuits (outer layer), boots, gloves, and hats for you to rent during your entire stay or borrow during the tour.

  • How to dress for winter in Swedish Lapland?

    That classic Swedish proverb “Det finns inget dåligt väder, bara dåliga kläder” (“There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing”), is the absolute rule of Northern living.

    The Three-Layer System for your body

    • Layer 1: Base Layer (Moisture Control)
      • Goal: Keep your skin dry.
      • What to wear: Long pants and a long-sleeve shirt made of merino wool or high-performance synthetics.
      • Golden Rule: Avoid cotton entirely. Cotton absorbs sweat, holds moisture, and turns into a freezer pack against your skin the moment you stop moving.
    • Layer 2: Mid Layer (Insulation)
      • Goal: Trap body heat and warm air.
      • What to wear: A fleece sweater, a lightweight down jacket, or a thick wool jumper. This layer holds onto the heat your body generates while letting moisture pass through.
    • Layer 3: Outer Layer (The Shield)
      • Goal: Protect against wind, snow, and moisture.
      • What to wear: Windproof and water-resistant winter pants and jacket. Mid-layers do the thermal heavy lifting, while the shell stops harsh subarctic coastal winds from stealing that trapped heat.
      • Tip: Make sure this layers provides enough room to layer up.

    Protecting your extremities is very important, as your body naturally pulls blood flow away from your hands and feet to warm your core.

    • Feet
      • Gear: High-grade wool socks paired with insulated winter boots.
      • Tip: Always size up. Squeezing into tight boots restricts blood circulation and creates cold toes instantly. Trapped air space inside a roomier boot is the actual insulator that keeps your feet warm.
    • Hands
      • Gear: Mittens always beat fingered gloves. Keeping your fingers together allows them to share heat.
      • Tip: Double up on layers. Wear thin wool liner mittens underneath oversized, windproof outer mittens. This keeps your hands warm even if you briefly take off the outer shell to use a phone or camera.
    • Head & Neck
      • Gear: A thick beanie (mössa) that fully covers your ears, paired with a fleece or wool neck gaiter.
      • Tip: Ditch traditional scarves in favor of a neck gaiter. A gaiter seals the cold air out completely and can easily be pulled up over your nose and cheekbones when subarctic winds pick up.
