I myself is using Tamrac Evolution 6, of which is perfect for K-5. They have a slightly bigger one called Evolution 8.
Nice and packed, I can fit my K5 attached with 55-300, 16-45, FA31, DFA100WR, M50 F1.7 and my Lensbaby Composer into the lower compartment.
I suppose you can remove the grip whilst your gears are in the bag, so you can achieve some compactness in your back!

Still learning!

Jessops are selling the Lowepro Classified Sling 220AW for £26.95 (RRP £140) and I picked one up on Friday at the Glasgow shop. It would certainly do what you want although maybe a little bit big. It is a sling bag but it also has a securing waist belt.
I didn't really need it but it seemed too good a bargain to pass up. The Lowepro Slingshots are worth looking at too.

Slippery slope, Ken...I didn't really need it but it seemed too good a bargain to pass up.
That's why we have a wardrobe full of camera bags.

I've just bought the Lowepro Compuday photo 250 and I'm really pleased with it as a small, lightweight and discrete daysack. It' doesn't have the traditional dividers of most rucksacs etc but I find it's more flexible as a result...

Maybe I should be thinking more backpack rather than photo backpack, I don't really need space for a laptop, I coud have the camera in a holster style case and longer zoom in padded lens case/wrap. Ideally I'd like to keep the flask seperate in an outer pocket in case of it leakingIt' doesn't have the traditional dividers of most rucksacs etc but I find it's more flexible as a result...

If I could manage to fit my skidlid in the pack after the camera was removed that would be even better, nothing worse than carrying a helmet around all day
