I've got one of the cooling vest and it does help alot. You wet it down and wear it over a t-shirt. Same as wearing the neck coolers but it of course works for the whole upper body.
I work in a foundry and a few guys have vests that are filled with some kind of gel. Throw it in the freezer and once you put it on, you're good to go or at least 3 hours. Thats 3 hours working in a foundry. They tell me it helps quite a bit. Sorry I don't have a source, but I'm sure the Google machine can help you out with that.
Personally, I just soak my t-shirt in water and go. Not the prettiest sight seeing me in a wet t-shirt, but it keeps me cool for a while.
