sweatproof

Won't get soggy

Sweatproof describes something designed to resist damage or degradation from perspiration: sweatproof makeup, sweatproof earbuds.

Common in marketing for cosmetics, electronics, and athletic gear.

The term suggests durability during exercise or humid conditions, though it's often used loosely—few products are truly impervious to sweat.
