Backpack Insert or Bag for Hasselblad V?

I'm looking for a protective insert or neoprene bag to carry a Hasselblad V body with lens in my hiking backpack.

The best choice I've come across so far seems to be the Artist&Artisan ACAM-400 Hassy Wrap. However, I only managed to find it at photovillage.com, and they charge $49 shipping to Europe for an item worth $59, which is not very cost-effective.

Does anyone know where I can get this bag in Europe or elsewhere outside the US? Alternatively, are there similar bags, wraps, or inserts suitable for backpacking which would serve the same purpose?

Thanks!

The 2nd hand Xpan I bought came with 2 wraps (one for the camera, one for the 90mm lens) made from synthetic chamois leather (hope that translation makes sense ;-) I mean the stuff that you use to wipe dry the windows after washing the glass.

2 sheets had been sown together for each wrap. Works fine and is cheap. I found it an interesting idea I must say. The previous owner had used them while carrying the Xpan kit in his backpack.
