I thought these Axiom panniers were pushed back for heel clearance. Not particularly lowered. Or do you think that most any rear panniers will be problematic off-road?
Low rider front panniers are usually ... low riding ... where rear panniers rarely are much below axle level.

It all depends on where you go but if it was me I would keep all my stuff at or above axle level.
