Someone should make a jersey out of that stuff, you could probably get 10lbs of water into it by soaking before the ride. I've seen those cooling towel things, but I don't want to deal with keeping it well-wrapped while riding.
I just did a ride in 95F and I hardly sweated at all. I hosed myself down before starting and kept myself continually drenched.
