A good improvisation is to take a big ziplock bag and freeze enough water in it to make a big pad about an inch or two thick. Then tuck the icy treat into the back of your waistband over the kidneys. As the blood circulates it will be cooled.
Sounds good. My personal thing is a bandanna - with water retention crystals stitched into it - soaked in ice water then tied around the neck or head before exiting the air conditioning. A life saver.
