You might be thinking particle board? OSB is rather solid. It's exposure rated OSB, and the finished edges are sealed. Short of the cut edges, you can rain on it without consequence. All my cut seams have been sealed, and the garage will be wrapped. Just as strong as plywood, and less than half the price.
If you think that is crazy, two of the quotes I got back from garage building companies weren't going to use wood sheathing at all. They were going to plywood the corners, and then foam board the rest....
