I used to think as you do, but in the heat a moist cooling towel worn about the neck, especially when paired with a wide brimmed hat, can be a great comfort.

Once the humidity gets high enough this doesn't really work anymore, at least, in my personal experience. Wet clothes stay wet, but you're still sweating.

At that point simple tricks don't work so well and you just have to start spending energy to move heat around

yesterday it was 31° outside and 100% humidity. My bath towel is still wet after hanging at night.
