Default Tweeter Durability?

Back to looking at some lid speaker options. Narrowing down speaker options, I wonder about tweeter durability when exposed to the elements? I am looking at various brands with poly woofer cones/butyl rubber surrounds but see some with silk dome type tweeters. Sound aside, how durable is this composition compared to aluminum/titanium type tweeters? Thx.....

I've been wondering that myself. It seems like many problems with tweeters in a coaxial speaker come from the tweeter stalk breaking due to motorcycle vibration?
