Is it safe to use IEMs outside like normal earbuds? (alien.top)

I've been thinking of getting my first proper IEM (split between the Salnotes Zero, QKZ x HBB, Tangzu Wan'er, and CCA CRA+), and I wanted to know if it's better to have IEMs solely for at-home use or if they're durable enough for frequent outdoor use like going to school with them or going on a longer walk. Any response from someone who knows more about IEMs than me (aka anybody) would be appreciated!!

use my blessing 2s at the gym, in the rain and I've spilled my drinks on them multiple times and after a day or two in desiccant they always work the same. iems usually are pretty durable.
