Ehh I wouldn't really want to do much touring on a full suspension bike. I certainly wouldn't want massive full coverage fenders because they just wouldn't be very safe for mountain biking and would probably get clogged up easily or get something caught in them and break or cause you to stop suddenly. If I am mountain biking I am ok getting a little dirty that is part of the fun but might get some smaller stuff to keep some stuff of my face at least.
If I needed fenders/mudguards really badly I would just add them myself, there are plenty of companies doing fenders for mountain bikes that clip on in some fashion.
