Cooling vest for all day use (no access to freezer)

I'm disabled and broke (big surprise, right?) and my car just died. Luckily I live in a big city with good public transportation, but unluckily I have heat intolerance and very easily get heat exhaustion. Bus stops are often in the direct sun and buses are rarely cool.

Are there any cooling vests that you would recommend so I can get out of my house for appointments without putting myself in danger of heat stroke?

I have a vest with ice packs, but it only lasts about an hour. Bus rides can be hours long, and I won't have access to a freezer, or an abundance of fresh water to soak any evaporative cooling shirts.

What recommendations do you have for cooling vests, or other ways to stay cool?

Any suggestions are very appreciated.

ChiaoGoo needles!

Probably not exciting for most people, but I lucked into 2 40" ChiaoGoo circular knitting needles for $2.50 at a crafting thrift store and I couldn't be happier!
