weathertight
Resists the elements
Weathertight describes something sealed against rain, wind, and other weather conditions.
A weathertight seal keeps moisture from penetrating; a weathertight cabin stays dry in a storm.
The term appears most often in construction, boating, and shipping contexts: The cargo hold must be weathertight before we set sail.
