Thanks, everybody, for your excellent, thought-provoking posts and links. Whoever mentioned those super-big 3" tires for off-road, yeah. The Krampus and the ECR look so cool.
One thing I hadn't appreciated about the Revelate-style bags is that saddlebags that aren't any wider than me are not going to be a problem *when riding*. But they might be a problem *when pushing*. I almost never push my Atlantis when I'm touring-- that's what low gears are for-- but off-road, I'd definitely be spending plenty of time hike-a-biking. Rear panniers get in the way of my legs when pushing, and wide saddlebags are somewhat in the way as well.
