Why Renting a Jacket is a no brainer.

Before we get into jacket types and travel picks, let’s address the obvious: why rent instead of buy?

  • If you live in a hot weather climate like India, and only travel occasionally in winter, purchasing an expensive jacket you are only likely to wear a couple of times a year isn't worth it.

  • Jackets for extreme cold require insulation, layering capability, and waterproofing, and all of it doesn't come cheap.

  • You're saving storage space, money, and all of the hassle of figuring out storage while getting access to the high-quality winterwear you might not have near your travel destination.

That’s where Kosha’s rental service steps in. Our cold weather gear lets you explore high-performance winterwear without long-term commitment.

Travel specific jacket selections: How to Pick.

Choosing cold weather outer layers are mostly predicated on just three factors:

1. Expected Temperature Range

If your travel destination is generally in the -5°C to 15°C zone, a multifunctional jacket with good insulation and weather protection should do the trick for your travel.

But if your destination is in the cold regions (i.e.: Norway, Russia, Mongolia) you may need a more serious option.

2. Weather

Snow, wind, sleet requires different fabrics. Hard shell for waterproofing and windproofing. Soft shell to hold warmth. 

3. Type of Trip

Is it a winter road trip, ski adventure, or city tour? For high mobility, opt for lightweight gear. For laid-back getaways or colder cities, parkas and fleece-lined jackets are ideal.
