VTG Columbia America 1995 Women’s Team America’s Cup Reversible Vest M Rare USA

Rare vintage Columbia Sportswear reversible vest from the historic America³ Women’s Team that competed in the 1995 America’s Cup. This vest represents a groundbreaking moment in sailing history, as America³ Foundation sponsored the first-ever all-women’s crew to race for the Cup, led by skipper Dawn Riley.
The vest features a bold red nylon exterior with embroidered team logo and U.S. flag that reads “America³ The Women’s Team, America’s Cup 1995.” The interior reverses to navy fleece with Columbia branding, providing two versatile looks. Functional details include full-zip closure, ribbed waistband, and snap pockets — classic Columbia construction from the 1990s.
This is more than just outerwear: it’s a collectible piece of sailing memorabilia and a rare example of Columbia’s sponsorship gear from the 90s. Items like this were typically issued to team affiliates, crew, or VIP supporters, not sold to the general public, which adds to its rarity.
