Just got the 2019 Hyper Lite Zero and so far absolutely love the bag. It's so light the box it came in weighed more than the bag! I think they changed material from previous years to increase the durability, but it's my bag just for travel so I don't think I'll have the durability issues.
I love the pockets - it actually has 6 total - 4 nice zipper pockets and two more “sleeve” pockets (one is for cell phone). All work great, and the sleeve pockets are well designed so nothing will fall out during carry and play. Very easy and stable stand system. Has the essential umbrella strap and tab also, I was happy to see that.
I guess the only minor design issues would be; I find the mesh lining inside the carrying straps irritate my shoulders, so I just flip the straps when I put them on to the smoother outside and that works much better. The club openings are a little tight but to get the weight to just 2.5 lbs something's gotta give. The grab handle is nice for lifting and managing the bag, but it sticks out far enough that I have to be careful not to bang my elbow on it when putting on the shoulder straps. Also the description says carabiner towel strap, but mine is just a looped cord.
These are minor issues though and don't detract from what a great bag it is. I could see the potential for some durability issues because it is such a light weight construction, so if you plan to use it as an everyday bag and are hard on your equipment, might consider a more robust bag (it WILL be A LOT heavier than this one though). Should be a great travel bag for many years to come.
