I came across the ThinkTank Multimedia Wired Up 20 and it looked like it would fit the bill.
I also ordered the Multimedia Wireless Mic Kit to go along with it. It attaches to the built in belt of the the Wired Up 20.
One of the great things about the Multimedia Wired Up series is that they designed them with small openings that allow you to run cables between the various bags.
I have two wireless mic receivers in the Wireless Mic Kit and run the output from that bag into the Zoom H4N stored in the audio compartment of the Wired Up 20 .
Since the cables run through the bottoms of the bags, I can zip the top closed and throw on the included rain cover when needed.
Had some custom right angle XLR connectors made to reduce the stress on the cables that are plugged into the bottom of the H4N.

The audio compartment of the Wired Up 20 is designed to open away from the body, so that you can see and adjust the levels on the screen of the audio recorder.

The cord for the headphones runs through an opening on the other side of the bag.
The Wired Up 20 also comes with a hook to hang your headphones on. Very handy to have.
The main compartment is nice and roomy. I can fit a 5D mkII with a battery grip and a 70-200L lens (hood reversed) in the center section with room for another lens on the side (maybe the 50mm 1.2L when I buy it later this year).
When I shoot a ceremony with my regular video cameras, a Canon XF100 and an XA10 as a second/backup camera, the Wired Up 20 is roomy enough that I can quickly store the XA10 in the bag after the ceremony and continue shooting with the XF100.
The Wired Up 20 also has large side pockets that can stretch out to hold water bottles or LCD lights, or whatever else you can think of.
It also comes with a Cable Management bag and mini bungie cords useful for storing microphone cables and things.
As I make the transition to shooting more and more video with my HDSLRs instead of my video cameras, I'll be using this setup more often since it makes recording dual system audio much easier.
