I found I can fit the 600mm PF on the Z9 inside my Bataflae 18L, my smallest backpack. The 800mm PF will fit without the Z9 attached. I realized I need to rethink my packing with these two lenses.

After considering modifying a fStop XL Pro ICU, to add a top lid.... I remembered, or rather rediscovered the relatively new Shimoda XXL-DV ICU. It was mentioned in one of the bigbag BCG threads last year.
This looks like just what the doctor ordered
- Internal Dimensions = 29W x 55H x 20D cm, crucially Sufficient Depth for wide telephotos and gripped Pro ILCs, compared to most ICUs;
- complete Rear Panel AND Top Access to access a rigged supertelephoto;
- Integral aluminum frame, and more rigid dividers that require careful fitting to individual items;
- Lightweight Water-Resistant & Multi-purpose Skin;
- Light blue internal fabric, which I find an important advantage in murky light to spot small items;
- Taller yet lighter than the fStop XL Pro with top lid access, and sufficient depth

The XXL size is designed to carry mounted super telephoto lens and protect all the DV gear you need, with an extra depth of 20 cm (7.9 in) that makes it ideal for RED or similar-sized cine/video cameras, as well as a...uk.shimodadesigns.com

I'm a big fan of all things Shimoda, and had never heard of this one so thanks for posting!
Do you have the ICU already? and what bag are you putting it into?

No not yet.
For a fStop Sukha or Tilopa (a snug fit judging by dimensions)
