The cheap little fans that come on a spray bottle work in some conditions. I like to keep ice water with me. I got a bottled water from the store that has the sports top. After I drank the water, I refill it about half way, freeze it and then fill it with water and take it with me. I have found that bottled water doesn't stay frozen as long.
I crochet little bottle shaped bags with long straps that I put my frozen water bottles into. They work great to keep the water frozen for me. Just the little bit of insulation makes it stay ice maybe another hour or two longer than it normally would.

The bags make it really easy to carry the bottles. Plus, the bags are fun to make.
