I own a small acoustic guitar (smaller than a parlour), that I usually bring with me during camping, excursions and tie on the back of my motorcycle. I find that the Gator gigbag, together with a rain cover, although a bit big for my guitar is just right for that use. It looks well made, robust and protective. I wouldn't trust it for an expensive instrument though, but most probably I would not eve treat an expensive instrument as bad as that...
