weather-resilient

[unpakwon]

Please make the following in bold clear for me.

1. His research team came up with a series of lightweight, weather-resilient fabrics for outdoor sportswear...

Is this some like "all-weather"?

2. The agent did at least assure me that I would not have to pay my bill for another month; she would put a hold on my account, noting possible overcharges.

Please explain the above more easily.

Thank you.

Definitions for these terms would be easy enough to find, for example, on the web.

Weather-resilient or weather-resistant?

(I worked for L. L. Bean for a while. "Water-resistant" is a pretty common term. I'm not familiar with "weather-resilient.")

I like "all-weather" much more than weatherproof, weather-resilient (which I've never heard) or weather-resistent.

I'm not quite sure I understand the second sentence. It's the last 3 words that have me stumped. I understand that she could put the account on hold (suspend it) and tell you that you don't need to make a monthly payment at the moment. However, I have no idea what she's going to do in order to "note possible overcharges". If you're overcharged for something, then you are told to pay more than the correct price. I don't see how that fits this scenario.
