The embodiments of the present invention are configured to cool the occupant(s) while operating an open-air vehicle, utilizing evaporative cooling, reducing the potential for potentially adverse heat related health conditions. The misting apparatus is comprised of a remote water reservoir, manually gas pressurized by a piston type pump. The apparatus is manually activated by depressing an integral normally closed, manually operated, momentary, push button on/off water control valve, incorporated into the water control manifold, between the pressurized water reservoir, and the misting nozzle manifolds. Water is supplied via a main water supply line, joined at the outlet side of the pressurized water reservoir, to the inlet side of the water control manifold. Depressing the push button on-off water control valve, water flows through the control valve. Thus, allowing pressurized water in the remote water reservoir to flow through the misting nozzle(s), contacting the occupants and utilizing the evaporative cooling effect.
