I like the Mule for carrying a few essentials off road, but you can't
get much useful luggage in there.

For utility riding, I love my big Howies messenger bag, you can just
keep throwing stuff in there and it never seems full. No more sweat
inducing than the Mule either, and the waist strap seems to carry most
of the load on the hips (so much so that the shoulder strap slips off
the shoulder unless you're really carrying loads of stuff)
