Day bag for k-3 with battery grip?

Belt systems will not work with my girth! It is disappointing that Think Tank doesn't have some kind of secure small backpack like this:

Flipside AW Series | Lowepro

You sure about that?

Pro Speed Belt V2.0 - XL-XXL

XL-XXL size: 44”–64” (112–162 cm) based on actual waist measurement. Note: pant sizes can vary 2-5 inches smaller than true waist measurements. For the most accurate results, please measure your waist with a tape measure.

Afraid I may lose my pants! Just kidding!

For those interested Canucks, Henry's carries a lot of the Think Tank line.

Aside from the LowePro Flipsides, you might like the Tamrac Zuma 9 'Secure Traveller' backpack, which is also rear-opening:

It's quite compact too - maybe too compact. But you can attach various modular Tamrac accessories to the sides if needed.

Yes I have seen the Zuma. I think it is a bit small. I don't really like attachable modules- just something that will be open by unwanted hands or spill out if not secured during a hasty photo opportunity. The quest for the perfect bag goes on.

What about Tamrac's Pro Digital Zoom Bag 10? I love mine, and it' less expensive than some of the suggestions so far.

A larger rear-opener I've looked at is the Vanguard Adapter 48:
Vanguard ? Photo-Video - Tripods, Camera Bags, Cases, Optics, Binoculars

The Vanguard Uprise 45 might also do the job.
