Getting your bracelet/necklace and Steps wet is perfectly fine, they’re extremely durable. However, we'd recommend against regular contact with soaps, shampoos, salt water or chemicals, such as chlorine, as this could cause your El Camino products to age more quickly than they otherwise would. Having said this, some people never take theirs off and are loving the way it looks. It all depends on whether you'd like to preserve the original appearance of your El Camino for as long as possible, if this is the case, we'd suggest not getting it wet. Some like the worn look though!
