I read some reviews that said the same thing about these types of cooling systems in humid climates. Since I live in an extremely humid climate, I decided to go a different route entirely. I ordered a waist belt with two flasks. I figure I can use one for drinking as it gets hotter and I attempt longer runs, and the other for pouring over my head to help a little with the heat.
Here's the one I got: http://www.amazon.com/Nathan-10-Ounc...0973855&sr=8-1
Thanks for the all the feedback, though!

I have used the neck towels that stay wet longer and slowly evaporate to keep cool. But, I never did this on a bike. don't know how to keep one on. I use them in between sets when it is really, really hot on the tennis court to cool me down in between the exercise.
I have used a cool vest on a motorcycle with mesh clothing, but I do not think it work very well for slower speed cycling.
