bite-resistant
Hard to gnaw
Bite-resistant describes materials or products designed to withstand biting without breaking, tearing, or being punctured.
The term appears most often in contexts involving animals or children: bite-resistant gloves for dog handlers, bite-resistant toys for aggressive chewers.
Unlike bite-proof, bite-resistant acknowledges that protection has limits—it reduces damage rather than eliminating it entirely.
