weather resistant
Built for outdoors
Weather resistant describes materials or products designed to withstand outdoor conditions—rain, sun, wind, humidity—without significant damage or degradation.
Unlike waterproof, weather resistant implies protection against various elements rather than complete impermeability to water: weather-resistant fabric, a weather-resistant finish on the deck.
The term appears frequently in product marketing for outdoor furniture, electronics, and clothing.
