A reputed optical shop could provide you a quality UV protected coolers.

When you sweat more than a quart an hour due to the extreme heat, it eats up the water and the salt of your body. It may cause heatstroke that claims 300 lives annually. Hence, avoid any midday outdoor recreations. Always wear light color fabric during your summer vacation which absorbs only less heat. Wear flip-flops to prevent the scorched feet and avoid the puncture wounds.
