The one bike conundrum

A recent change in work arrangements has upped the bike commute distance and frequency. I'm moments from clicking go on a bike that will do the 18mile each way commute on 700 x32's and then accommodate 27.5 x 1.9/2 ish tyres for more offroad trail stuff. Anyone got any experiences of a similar setup...

Re: Waterproofs

Mt500 is my go to jacket if I think I'll need a hood or Endura pro SL if no hood. The pro SL is the best waterproof I've ridden in since 1989 when the mtb bug bit!

Re: Really warm socks (not wool)

IME waterproof socks aren't really warm unless they're merino/wool lined which negates your not wool requirement. The only thing I can think of is maybe fleece socks Quite right, Endura make a primaloft sock which is really cosy as part of the fs260 collection. https://www.endurasport.com/product/p...
