I would like to see what is the closest word I can get that means vulnerable to the elements. One word is preferred, as opposed to a phrase. Here is a basic example:
Steel is ____________, but titanium is not ____________.
Ideally the word is not only relevant to corrosion like in the above example, but also other elements, whatever they may be (sunlight, wind, cold, ect)
Chemlights are ____________, but flashlights are not ____________.
(in the 2nd example the element implied is sunlight. Sunlight will degrade the chemlight, but will not impact the flashlight's performance -- not that you would use a flashlight on a sunny day, assumed you used at a later date at night after exposure to sunlight)

Impervious, meaning incapable of being damaged, might do, but it's an anotonym of the phrase "vulnerable to the elements".

could you be looking for pervious and impervious?
As adjectives the difference between pervious and impervious is that pervious is admitting passage; capable of being penetrated by another body or substance; permeable while impervious is unaffected or unable to be affected by.
or simply
Weatherproof
Resistant to the effects of bad weather, especially rain.

I think he's looking for one word which is the exact opposite of weatherproof, like a better word than weather-pervious.

susceptible works, although that doesn't exclusively refer to susceptibility to the elements.
From Merriam Webster:
susceptible - adjective - sus·cep·ti·ble sə-ˈsep-tə-bəl - 1 : capable of submitting to an action,
process, or operation a theory susceptible to proof
2 : open, subject, or unresistant to some stimulus, influence, or
agency susceptible to pneumonia
3 : impressionable, responsive a susceptible mind
— susceptibleness noun
— susceptibly adverb

We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.

The word you suggest is a good choice, but to make it easier for the person who posted the question to see why it's relevant, please consider adding a dictionary definition of susceptible in the relevant sense (together with a citation to the dictionary you used) and consider explaining why it is relevant.
