I came across
this product today - popped up in my FB feed coincidentally after chatting with Darrell in Eureka Springs on Sunday (you know your phone is listening to you ...). Anyone have any direct experience?

Then there is this guy who discusses a DIY solution ...

Last year, when experimenting with the bike in the 117 deg F heat of eastern Washington, I found the best solution is to stay hydrated and don't stop moving.... Of course, for Canadians, this might not be enough.

Also, found this today in an email from the journal Nature:
“If we go to hell, we’ll take a blanket,” is a common joke in Jacobabad, Pakistan, where people are accustomed to hot weather. But during the current extreme heatwave, with temperatures peaking over 51 ℃, even they are finding life unbearable....
Since we don't usually make that conversion - that's 124 deg F. I mean, just in case you thought you were suffering.

Got that right ...
I think I will break out my HyperKewl vest on the way back home. Never use it otherwise ...

We are too soft here in the "West". Off to the heat tomorrow at the Rally.

We use something like this. Not the exact product but similar. Works very well.

I have something similar by HyperKewl. Unfortunately, it is not as efficient in a humid heat.
