Is this insulated at all? How warm will this keep you? Also I'm 5'6 140lbs, medium or small?

This jacket really doesn't have much insulating value (although it is a killer softshell). If it's really cold out, you'll need to layer underneath it. Having said this, I will also point out that it is also fairly fitted (and runs a little on the small side), so that there's not a whole lot of room for other layers. If you are between sizes, I would definitely get the larger size.
