hardwearing
Stands up well
Hardwearing describes materials or products that withstand prolonged use without deteriorating.
A hardwearing fabric resists tears and abrasion; hardwearing boots last through seasons of rough treatment.
The term is more common in British than American English, where *durable* often substitutes: These hardwearing carpets are ideal for high-traffic areas.
