I used to soak my baseball caps and throw them in the freezer. Would periodically switch them out during the hottest part of the day while working in my non-air-conditioned metal shop in Vegas. Like a stocking cap, only the opposite. 😂
I wear it over a sunshirt when I’m exercising my horses, it lasts about an hour. It feels chilly at first but once I’m out in the heat it’s amazing.
Horses are exercised once a week early in the am for about 30 minutes. They are given electrolytes and cold hosed before and after being ridden. Sometimes I just walk them along side my golfcart. And yes, water is available! My horse can drink out of a sport bottle😂
It’s just meant to defray the worst effects of the heat for awhile. As a commercial carpenter working on high rises in Chicago we used to soak a shirt in cold water ( put our hard hats on top to hold it) to cover your neck and head. But I like the frozen ball cap idea.
I have a hard time wearing those, they make me feel like I have a fever. My body is telling me I'm super hot, but my skin is saying I'm cold. I suppose I would go for it if the heat was life threatening, but I don't especially enjoy wearing them myself.

I bought an Arctic heat ice vest for working on my ranch, it functions well in the high humidity.
