weather-resistant
Built for outdoors
Weather-resistant describes materials or products designed to withstand exposure to rain, sun, wind, and temperature changes without significant damage or deterioration: weather-resistant outdoor furniture, a weather-resistant jacket.
The term implies durability under normal conditions but stops short of claiming complete imperviousness—unlike waterproof or weatherproof, which suggest stronger protection.
