Yeh, optimism is a good way to saave me £165!
I've got a gilet and a very old one of the below, both of which are pocket-squeezeable, just not sure if they're sturdy enough to keep me warm for a super long and potentially wet descent

A rain jacket will help a bit, but if it's wet and cold then no item of clothing will keep you warm on a long descent apart from full winter kit.
You have to compromise.

From last year experience yes get a rain jacket if only to keep you dry, two days and one day @andyp compromise.
Lotto wore the Vermarc Extreme rain jacket at this years Milan San Remo which seems good reviews and £80.

Be optimistic you will have nice weather. You still will need a newspaper for descending. Or a gilet. I use this.
