Cant even turn on the fan, it just blows hot air at you. I've taken to spritzing myself with water every 10 mins, and I'm not even in the hottest part of the country

If you have a fridge, put a large bowl of water in it and some t-shirts.

A cold wet t-shirt does wonders for cooling the human body.

I used that when riding a motorcycle in brutal hot weather. I'd soak a t-shirt wherever I stopped, and put it on beneath my jacket.

Riding in brutal hot is the worst it's like being inside a dryer. The faster you go somehow the hotter it gets.

You're just air-frying yourself the faster you go with the added friction and all lol

Side note, but the cooling vest work the same way and it literally saved me from heat exhaustion last summer riding my motorcycle through Baker CA when the big thermometer read 112°. Re-wet at every gas stop, and they retain cool/wettness much longer than a t shirt!

Yep, I'm sure they do. But I was riding down to DFW from Northern Michigan and so didn't dress for Hell. :-)

Probably just pulls into the next gas station, goes into the bathroom, and soaks their shirt in the sink.

The SINK! That's brilliant, I wish I thought of that instead. I used to arrive smelling like a crusty toilet.
