impact resistant

Survives hard knocks

Impact resistant describes materials or objects designed to withstand sudden force without breaking, cracking, or deforming.

The term appears frequently in product descriptions for safety glasses, phone cases, and luggage: impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses.

It suggests durability under stress but doesn't mean indestructible—something impact resistant handles bumps and drops better than alternatives.
