How about just one irrigation sprayer? That what I would like to run through on a hot day. But I don't have feathers.

One with a low flow rate, like 5 GPH or lower. If you run them off city water pressure (45 PSI) or anything over 30 PSI, they come out more like a mist than a spray. Or use a pressure regulator to cut it down to 5-10 PSI and get just a feeble spray at even lower volume.

I don't know if you can splice a 1/4" irrigation tube directly into a garden hose, but even one foot of irrigation mainline with a garden hose fitting would let you screw the mainline into your hose, and stick a 1/4" tube (Rigid Riser) into the mainline, and a jet sprayer onto the 1/4" tube.

Or go fancy and also buy a stake.
