Why Rent with Kosha?

Kosha’s Rental Services was started as a direct response to the many queries and concerns of our customers. Many families want access to high-quality and performing winter gear, even if it’s just for a short trip, but it isn’t a smart choice to invest in gear that you wouldn’t normally use. Keeping this in mind, Kosha has started its rental initiative, helping you to rent the warmth and own the moment.

Warming without weighing down the planet is much more than a slogan. It’s the philosophy that Kosha has always believed in and invested in. With rentals, you get top-notch protection for the duration of your trip, minus the environmental footprint of fast fashion or infrequent usage.

11 cute options for kids this winter!

1. Fleece jackets for boys

Fleece jackets for boys are a must-have staple in every wardrobe. These jackets are cozy, warm, comfortable, and stylish, whether it is for a snowy, chilly evening, a trip to the icy peaks of Kashmir, or just a simple birthday bash in the out.

Renting Kosha’s fleece jackets as outer layers is the most important layer when it comes to dressing and layering for winter. Plus, Kosha ensures that each of their clothing item is dry-cleaned before and after every use. 

2. Merino Wool Bamboo Full Sleeves Thermal for Boys

Thermals are unsung heroes of winter wear. These layers are worn closest to the skin; therefore, don’t even think about skipping them. Kosha’s merino wool bamboo full sleeves thermal for boys is designed specifically for this purpose, to be super-soft on the skin, while providing you with the coziest hug ever.

Stay warm without the bulk! Kosha’s Merino-Bamboo thermal for boys is lightweight, skin-friendly, and now available for your winter vacations.

Since thermals are worn the closest to the skin, Kosha recommends its customers invest in their pair for hygienic purposes. 

3. Classic Merino Wool Socks for Girls

Well, we have discussed all about keeping the upper body warm, but what about the lower body? Worry not, Kosha has got the solution for you.

Buy Kosha’s classic merino wool socks for girls, as these socks regulate the body temperature while being ultra-soft on the skin, as these socks are also itch-free.

4. Woolen Gloves for Boys

6. Woolen Mufflers

Woolen mufflers are a great way to add style to any winter outfit. Adding a colorful scarf or muffler to a boring black sweater completely changes your child’s style game. It adds the extra oomph and offers the best of both worlds: warmth and a bit of colour.

7. Thermal Leggings

Thermal leggings, made from merino wool or merino bamboo wool blends, are a perfect option for this winter. While they are perfect for layering, they are also good for styling a cute winter outfit by wearing them under a skirt for a chic, effortless look.

Kosha recommends investing in your pair of thermal leggings for hygienic purposes. 

8. Woolen Caps

No winter look is complete without a stylish woolen cap or a beanie. They not only keep your child warm, but they also make their Instagram photos pretty photo-worthy by bringing a splash of color to your outfit. 

9. Sweaters for the win

Sweaters are the best way to style your child’s outfit and layer it in order to protect them from the cold.  Kosha’s knitwear options come in cheerful hues and classic cuts.

10. Winter booties for layering

Keep little feet insulated with lined booties designed to withstand cold pavements and snowy trails. These provide both comfort and grip, perfect for tiny explorers.

What’s available for rent?

Kosha’s jackets truly act as a knight in shining armour in your next alpine journey. The jackets available for rent are:

Waterproof jackets: Waterproof jackets are a safer option as well, since these offer ultimate protection from snow or rain, making them a must-have in your child’s winter journey, if the weather is a bit unpredictable.

Insulated jackets: Insulated Jackets might be your go-to choice if your child is a bit more, let’s say, adventurous. 

Apart from that, you might don a fluffy outer layer, but what about keeping your lower half warm and dry?

Do you hear the answer to that? It’s Snow Pants!

Snow pants are the perfect choice for snow hikes, treks, skiing, or just frolicking in the snow. 

What’s not available for rent? 

Thermals and accessories are not available on rent. 

Since thermal layers are too close to the skin, investing in your own is the best choice for hygienic purposes. Apart from that, most of the accessories are made of merino wool, which is delicate, making it prone to tears and wear.
