How bout some of these?

I used this product in my racing days and they are wonderful. Very
robust, very comfortable, keeps your core temperature quite tolerable even
inside my black racecar with zero insulation, stopped in the direct sun on
a 110f day,,,, You could also put your sodas or adult bevies in the ice
container..
