The weather can be very cold (minus 30 - 40 C is possible), so it is important to be well protected by a layered system of clothing.  The more layers the better, as air is trapped between the layers of clothing and this is what keeps you warm.

 

While sledding you will be provided with an overall to keep your clothes clean and also boots.

The clothing list is over the top, for the sledding experience itself, however you should carry enough clothing to survive for 48 hours should you be stranded in a remote area. This is standard practice for anywhere that gets as cold as it does in Lapland.
