hailproof

Survives frozen precipitation

Hailproof describes something designed or constructed to withstand damage from hail.

The term appears most often in contexts involving vehicles, roofing materials, and outdoor structures that might otherwise suffer dents, cracks, or breakage during hailstorms.

The dealership advertised hailproof covers for cars parked outside.

Like other "-proof" compounds, it suggests resistance rather than absolute immunity—severe enough hail can damage nearly anything.
