I have embraced a large wet bandana on my forehead / neck / arm / etc. Evaporative cooling for the price of $5 (and the effort of carrying around a bottle of water). Dunno about 10C reduction, but it makes a lot of difference. It also made me question the wisdom of having spent the prior years in unnecessary suffering.

Well then, another contribution: a few years ago I have found that several months of strenuous cargo exercise made me not care about heat, even the wet heat. I would still sweat and all, but it wouldn't be nearly as bothersome as it was earlier.
