wind resistant
Won't blow away
Wind resistant describes materials, structures, or designs that withstand wind without significant damage or deformation.
A wind-resistant jacket blocks drafts; wind-resistant construction keeps buildings stable in storms.
The term suggests durability against wind rather than complete impermeability: The tent is wind resistant but not windproof.
