Does this coat have insulation, if so, how much. When you wear this jacket do you need a insulation layer? I live in Breckenenridge, so guage your responses based on high altitude conditions.

The Sabre does not have insulation. It uses a thicker softer face fabric with a light fleece bonded to the gore tex membrane. The combination of these 2 things adds a touch of warmth to the jacket (less than a 50 wt fleece I would estimate). I always use an insulating layer under the jacket (such as the Atom Lt or epsilon). regular fleece does not slide well under the fleece backing of the sabre so look for a smooth faced insulating layer. Hope this helps.
