Soak a wet rag and drape it over your neck. The evaporating water will help keep your neck and shoulders cool, and you can wipe down anywhere that needs a little extra evaporation.

    firefighter/medic taught me this trick. make a solution of seabreeze (or similar alcohol based astringent face cleaner) with 1/1/1 water and ice. soak the rag in that and drape it over your neck. the alcohol and menthol in the face cleaner has a multiplying effect on the cooling.
