Purchase a pack of McKesson cleansing wipes or a similar product. The medical ones are cheaper than the sport ones, so don't bother with Lume and the sport variety - way too expensive. You could probably also use a few wet, mostly wrung-out paper towels in a ziplock!

Put them in the fridge.

When you come in from working outside and are sweaty, grab a few of those nice, cold wipes and use them to wipe yourself down. Removes sweat, cools you off, and is very refreshing.
