weather-beaten
Roughened by elements
Weather-beaten describes something worn, roughened, or damaged by long exposure to wind, rain, and sun.
A weather-beaten face shows deep lines and leathery texture from years outdoors; a weather-beaten barn has faded paint and warped boards.
The term suggests endurance through harsh conditions: the weather-beaten fisherman, a weather-beaten coastline.
