But frozen ice containers aren't swamp-coolers. In fact, as the humid air blew over the cold containers its humidity would drop as its temperature dropped. Having said that - waaaay too much ice needed and too much energy expended to freeze it.

I'm stealing from a post in another thread, but buy a fishing vest, drop frozen Blue Ice containers into its pockets, and then put a wind-breaker on over it. Voila - a nice cool DIY environmental suit for your body.
