puncture resistance
Won't be holed
Puncture resistance is a material's ability to withstand piercing by sharp objects.
The term appears in product descriptions for tires, gloves, packaging, and protective gear: These work boots feature puncture-resistant soles.
High puncture resistance means the material can absorb or deflect pointed force without being penetrated.
