Do I like taking risks?
I would say “No” when buying a tent for my adventure. A tent is my living space in nature after a long hiking day. So I want it to be enjoyable and fully protect me from unfavorable weather conditions. And Coleman is a long-standing brand that never fails to disappoint me.
But one day, I came across a unique tent design with a beautiful glamping style and a huge awning. I’m enormously impressed by this art. Then, I decided to pick one Vidalido Teepee tent.
After looking at both Vidalido vs Coleman, I would like to give you an interesting comparison to see which brand is the winner in my heart.
Which is the best one?
My decision would be a Coleman tent because this brand has a strong foothold on the market. Coleman gives me more reliability, diversity, affordability, creativity, and advanced technologies.
Unlike Coleman, Vidalido is not a big brand. There is not much information about it to research carefully before purchase. However, if you want to experience the excellent glamping tent and awning, you should try it. Vidalido’s private bathroom shelter is also a big plus of this brand to go with any tent.
Similarity
Vidalido vs Coleman don’t have many features in common. As I can see, they are both creative brands on the market.
Coleman shines its light with a lot of unique colors and shapes. Besides, Coleman provides its users with many convenient innovations such as the E-port, the built-in lighting, fan, Dark Room technology, and the WeatherTec system.
At the same time, Vidalido’s uniqueness lies in its artistic glamping style and the big awning to the front of the tent. If you search on social media platforms, you will see many gorgeous pictures of Vidalido pyramid tent with colorful flags and yellow light bulbs. Additionally, this brand has the product line of Outdoor Shower Tent Changing Room for your privacy.
Difference
Diversity
One of the most notable strengths of Coleman is its diversity. You can easily find a Coleman tent that fits your needs perfectly because this brand has lots of different sizes, structures, capacities, and colors. Light or heavy? Simple or colorful? Cheap or costly? Coleman has everything that will meet your expectations.
Unlike Coleman, Vidalido is very limited in its offerings. They don’t have various shapes and colors like Coleman. Vidalido tents usually have simple colors which are different from neon Coleman tents.
Besides, you cannot find many sizes in Vidalido because they don’t have the option for 1 or 2 people. Its maximum capacity is only for eight people, while Coleman can contain up to 12 people simultaneously with its Skylodge or Sunlodge 12-person tent.
Although Vidalido is not diverse, many people love it due to its special pyramid tent. The center height of this structure is higher than usual. So, you can comfortably stand straight to change clothes or move your body. The fact that Vidalido includes the colorful flag string for decoration especially complements the exterior!
Price
Vidalido is not an ideal option for anyone who wants a cost-saving tent. Its prices start from about $150, while you can have many choices below $100 if you choose Coleman.
You can spend more on food, apparel, or tables/chairs with the money left. As a camping beginner or a person who does not like camping regularly, it is recommended that you opt for a cheaper option – Coleman instead of a costly Vidalido.
Awning
Vidalido is unique in its vast awning that you don’t often see in other brands. You can extend it widely to the front by using several poles to install it.
Therefore, you can use it to eat or talk with your beloved ones while enjoying the fresh air and calm winds. In addition, when this awning is up, the tent can breathe genuinely well. What a nice feature to have with Vidalido!

Unlike Vidalido, Coleman only has a small porch. You cannot expect to sit under this awning because it is not wide enough to protect you from the sunlight or rain.

Ventilation
Vidalido vs Coleman both do well in their ventilation function. However, the way their tents breathe is different.
Coleman ventilation is good thanks to its half rainfly and the ground vents. Coleman’s ground vents push hot air up and out instead of the vents on the top of the fly like other brands. Furthermore, Coleman’s fly usually does not stretch fully to the ground. As a result, fresh air can easily blow into the tent through the windows.
In contrast, Vidalido tents breathe well due to the large mesh, huge awning on both sides, and top vents. Imagine sitting under the roof with your family and enjoying the barbecue with some cool air; you will love it!

Thoughtful innovations
As a creative manufacturer, Coleman offers its users many useful details and its tents. Firstly, we have an E-port to access an outside electrical power source. If we go camping in any area with electricity available, we can play games or watch our favorite films.
Secondly, some Coleman tents can satisfy users with a built-in LED lighting and fan system on the ceiling for extra brightness and coolness. Thirdly, Coleman has the Dark Room Technology, which can block 90% of sunlight. Therefore, even on a scorching and dazzling summer day, you can keep sleeping and dreaming beautifully.
On the other hand, what Coleman doesn’t have is the shower room shelter of Vidalido. We all want privacy when it comes to changing clothes or going to the toilet.
For this reason, this design comes to help you solve this concern. It has a closed roof and non-bottom design with a strong structure and not-see-through material. So, your privacy and safety will be ensured when using it.
As a new brand, Vidalido needs more time to grow strongly with more advanced offerings besides its shower room.
FAQs
1. I want to cook delicious foods under the awning of Vidalido tents. Is it safe enough to do that?
Other users don’t recommend using a stove for cooking under the awning because the nylon fabric can melt. Your tent can have unpleasant smoke as well.
Moreover, if you are not careful, it can cause a fire!
2. How can the water drain out if I use the Vidalido shower tent for showering?
The edge of this tent is made from mesh that allows water to go out to the ground. Therefore, you need to set up this shower shelter on a slope to let the water drain away smoothly. Otherwise, you are likely to stand in a big puddle of water.
3. Where can I order Coleman replacement parts?
There are two sites where buyers can find some replacement parts: eReplacementparts.com and OldColemanParts.com.
However, the brand does not guarantee that all you need is available because some items were made long ago. In this case, you can directly call Coleman to get their advice or look for your items from other retailers.
Conclusion
In summary, Vidalido vs Coleman both have their pros and cons. What makes them quite similar is their creativity and sound ventilation system.
However, I believe more in Coleman since this brand was founded a long time ago. Therefore, I can easily find much detailed information about it. I love Coleman because of its cheapness, diversity, big capacity, and modern technologies.
Although Vidalido has a helpful awning design, the aesthetic pyramid tent, and the shower room tent, I think Vidalido needs more time to prove its quality on the market. I can’t wait to see an advanced update of it shortly!
