Lowepro sells a number of bags (the Omni series) which exactly fit 
Pelicans, and in some cases, come with the Pelicans included (Omni 
Extreme). The Lowepro pelicans are black so you may prefer to buy more heat-
reflective pelicans elsewhere.

I use the Lowepro Omni Traveller Extreme. It's shoulderable and canoeable, 
with room for a couple of bodies and a lot of lenses. I added strap holders 
on the bottoms to carry my tripod and also to attach to my bike.
