Tamrac makes a nice backpack
2

The Tamrac 5793 backpack is big enough to put a pro body with a 1.4x extender attached to that lens. It was designed to work with a 600mm on a pro body, but the 500 is a little shorter, so you can add an extender if you want to. It is not ultra light weight once the lens and body is in there, but it is very sturdy and a relatively comfortable backpack with padded shoulder straps and a waist belt. Includes tripod straps and foot pocket. Balanced well enough to set on its bottom without falling over. The zipper design make lens access simple and painless. It's also reasonably priced.

I use it primarily as a case for the lens and body that I throw in the trunk of my car, but wouldn't hesitate to put it on for a long hike into an interesting location.
