Rent vs Buy Winter Jacket: Key Factors to Consider

We have broken down some key factors to consider while either buying or renting a winter jacket, and which saves you more, and most importantly, when. 

1. Duration of Use

Duration of use is something that matters a lot when planning a trip. If you are an occasional traveller and planning to travel only for a week, then in that case, renting is a smart call.

Buying a high-quality winter jacket would only make sense if: 

• You are a frequent traveller 

• You live in a cold, chilly region

But if that is not the case, then renting would help you save both money and wardrobe space.

2. Affordability 

One of the major reasons to rent is all related to cost-effective.

Products like Men’s puffer jackets can be a bit more expensive if they are bought for a single use. It wouldn’t make much sense if you are just an occasional traveller who travels around cold or chilly areas just once or twice a year.

As a solution to that, our rental initiative offers affordable winter gear options, allowing our customers to enjoy the perks of Kosha’s high-performance winter gear without paying the full price tag.

You pay a fraction of the purchase cost, and your rental fee includes dry cleaning too!

3. Convenience 

One of the major reasons to rent a winter jacket, instead of buying one, is the convenience it offers.

Once you rent a winter jacket, there are no issues of long-term commitment of money and storage space. Once you are back from your winter expedition, you don’t need to worry about how and where to store your bulky jacket in your tiny Mumbai apartment.

What’s available for rent?

At Kosha’s rental page, there are multiple things that one could rent,

1. Winter Jackets

At Kosha, every kind of winter jacket, whether it’s insulated, waterproof, or wind-resistant, is available for rent in all available colours and sizes, available on the website. 

2. Snow Pants

Snow pants are ideal for your next skiing or snowy adventures, making them ideal for renting.

These layers are professionally dry-cleaned, keeping our customers’ hygiene in mind.

All of our rental pieces are:

• Hygienically dry-cleaned before and after every use

• Combine style and mobility effortlessly

• These pieces are durable and are built for high-performance

What’s not for Rent?

Base Layers

The reasons why Base layers/thermals are not available for rent is, because:

• They are worn closest to the skin, so they should offer you a snug fit.

• Since they come in direct contact with the skin, renting them isn’t very hygienic.
  

Layer smart with Kosha thermals before slipping into our men’s winter jackets on Rent—function meets flexibility.

Accessories

• Most of the accessories are made from Merino wool.

• Due to this, they experience greater wear and tear.

• They are worn close to the skin, so hygiene matters.

Complement your women’s winter jackets on rent with cozy wool accessories for a complete winter look.
