Is this jacket waterproof?

No. It is a fleece layer, so it handles dry cold and light drizzle but not steady rain. Wear a shell over it in wet weather.

It is a mid-weight fleece, warm enough as a mid-layer in cold weather. In deep cold you will want a base layer and a windproof outer layer over it.

Can I wear it as an outer layer?

Yes, in dry, mild-to-cold conditions. It is not windproof, so it loses warmth quickly in strong wind.

No. It has a stand collar that covers the neck, so add a hat in cold wind.

Fleece mid-layers are usually worn over a shirt or base layer, so pick your normal size for that. Size up if you plan to layer it over a sweater.

Against a softshell it is warmer and softer but less weather-resistant. Against a plain fleece it adds tactical styling and more pockets.
