1 Season Tent

1 Season tents are the most basic tents out there; they are thin, often come without a rain-fly, and are intended primarily for summer use. You can probably stretch their use into mild Spring and Fall weather if you do not have any heavy weather conditions as they usually have very light waterproofing; which means it could withstand a quick passing rain shower, but not the thunderstorms that the Spring can be known for.

1 Season rated tents are perfectly fine for people who watch the weather conditions closely, and will only camp when it is nice and warm outside; they are not very popular, but if you see a 1 Season rating when you're browsing just know that it is not meant to withstand much weather at all.
