water resistant
Sheds droplets easily
Water resistant describes something that can withstand some exposure to water without being damaged or penetrated, though not indefinitely or under pressure.
A water-resistant watch survives splashes but shouldn't go swimming.
The term is weaker than waterproof: This jacket is water resistant, not waterproof—you'll get soaked in a downpour.
