How many coats?

I'm carrying two coats, a cycling coat and a windbreaker. It seems like too much to me, seeing the average weather forecast. What do you guys think? My backpack is weighing 8 kg. Thank you!
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Have you worn either of them yet? I don't know what a cycling coat is, but maybe you could just go with that as long as you have a rain coat or poncho in your bag, too. I've worn rain coat and rain pants to keep warm when needed.

Do you anticipate needing to wear both at the same time? If not choose one or the other.
Yes, I did it, and it will be more than enough. I will do this, choose one of the. Thanks for you reply!

I have a poncho, so I think one of the coats will be ok. Thanks for the reply!
 
One jacket, like my Marmot Minimalist Pro, can serve as rain-jacket, wind breaker and for warmth with a layer underneath. At 15.5 ounces, it's not too heavy to carry.
