that sounds like a good set up is it like the waterbeads inside? they gave us some at work but they emit a slime through the fabric that's worse than being hot and runs down your face or neck... Ewe don't know what's in there should've cut it down but when full it felt like a loaded diaper lol

A couple of guys I used to work with would drink coffee during the middle part of the day. I've never understood that. They said it helped keep them cool, I tried it once and the only thing I could think of after drinking a hot cup of coffee the outside doesn't feel as bad. However I think I immediately sweated it out.
Now one thing that I know that works is if you get a chance run some cool water down your forearms from the elbows to the wrist. This will immediately bring your core temp down. Do not pour it over your head as a guy my dad once knew had a heart attack when he did this outside during the hot time of day.

I always wear a cap. When it gets real hot I will soak it in cool water and wear it.

I've never experienced anything slimy coming from them. They do retain water for quite while. I'll have one on my neck when I mow tomorrow.

Well, my father would be a poor choice to ask for advice. We (my wife, older kids and my mom n dad) went to the US Nationals yesterday and dad spent the afternoon and most the night at the ER with severe dehydration and heat stroke.
I brought enough liquids to drown a horse and for some reason he decided that drinking less than a bottle of water was good enough.
The rest of us were fine....visor hats, dry fit clothing and plenty of water and Gatorade.

I definitely drink quite a bit of fluids I have worked with people who don't drink very much (like farm work) and I don't see how they don't get thirsty...

Yep. Scan was only slightly different than it was after his April stroke....kidneys straightened themselves out after about 6 hours of IV and fluids.

I like to use our new mojo dove decoy and let the spinning wings blow air up my shirt.

I've found a cold rag around the neck works wonders to keep cool.
Plenty of Gatorade, pickle juice and water will help prevent cramps too.

As a landscape contractor, I wear moisture wicking long sleeved shirt, t shirt over that and plenty of water. On extremely hot days, I have a towel, rolled and soaked with cold water, wrapped around my neck. Works great!

I was the safety Guru at ALCOA Potrooms where every summer we had some ba cases of heat illnesses.. This is a handout I put tgether.. BASIC HEAT INJURY PREVENTION 1. Consider water and electrolyte drinks as tactical weapons. Reduce heat injury by forcing consumption. Drink water even if not thirsty. 2. When possible, drink cool (50 F to 55 F) water. 3. Drink water before strenuous work. Water requirements vary with climatic conditions and workloads. In hot climates, drink at least one quart of water each hour. In extreme conditions, hourly water requirements could increase to over two quarts. 4. Take frequent drinks since they are more effective than drinking the same amount all at once. Larger people need more water. 5. Replace salt loss only by eating on all meals. 6.When possible, workloads and /or duration of physical activity should be less during the first days of exposure to heat; then should gradually be increased to follow acclimatization. 7.Modify activities if conditions which increase risk of heat injury (fatique/loss of sleep, previous heat exhaustion, taking medications) are present. 8.Take frequent rest periods in the shade, if possible. 9.Perform heavy work in the cooler hours of the day such as early morning or late evening, if possible. HEAT CRAMPSSYMPTOMS - Muscle cramps of arms, legs And/or stomach. Heavy sweating (wet skin) and extreme thirst may occur. FIRST AID1. Move person to a shady area and loosen clothing.* 2. Have the person drink at least 1 quart of cool water. 3.Watch the person. Continue to give water if person accepts it. 4.Get medical help if cramps continue. HEAT EXHAUSTIONSYMPTOMS - Heavy sweating with pale, moist, Cool skin: headache, weakness Dizziness, and/or loss of appetite. FIRST AID1. Move person to a cool, shady area and loosen/remove clothing.* 2. Pour water on person and fan to permit cooling effect. 3.Have person slowly drink at least one full quart of water. 4.Elevate person’s legs. 5.Get medical help if symptoms continue; Watch person until symptoms are gone or medical aid arrives Heat cramps, nausea (with or without vomiting), urge to move bowels, chills (gooseflesh), rapid, confusion, and tingling of the hands and/or feet may occur. HEATSTROKETHIS IS A MEDICAL EMERGENCYSYMPTOMS - Sweating stops (red, flushed,hot dry skin). FIRST AID HEAT STROKE IS A MEDICAL EMERGENCY. EVACUATE to a medical facility IMMEDIATELY. Reduce body temperature. 1. Move person to a cool, shady area and loosen or remove clothing (remove outer clothing 2.Start cooling the person IMMEDIATELY. Immerse in water. Fan to cool. Massage extremities and skin with cool water. 3.Elevate person’s legs. 4.If conscious, have person slowly drink one full quart of cool water.
