Don -
Cool vest - wet it down (soak for a while) and it retains the water via some special fabric and stuff inside. I think Joe Rocket makes one and there is several other companies out there too. Ya have to wear something over it tho so that it doesn't dry out too fast. Or a wet t-shirt under a heavy denim shirt. I haven't bought a mesh jacket yet, but plan too. Wet bandana around my neck, or they make some with the same kinda stuff as in the cool vests - retains the water longer than a plain bandana.
Always were at least a long sleeve shirt - helps the evaporative cooler effect.
I ride with a full face almost always, I just sweat, and always have a ball cap in my bag to put on when I get off the bike - to cover my helmet doo (guys don't seem to have much of that problem)
I ride in 100 degrees regularly in the summer....just stop often and drink lots of water or ice tea (unsweetened)....
No special tricks.
