I never noticed that on my 120AW. I just tried all 4 zippers
one-handed. The big camera/lens compartment can bind on the turns
sometimes depending on how fast you're pulling it. Pull it slowly or
jerkingly and it *sometimes* binds on the turn. Pull it quickly and
smoothly and it slides around like butter. The 3 smaller compartments
(two curved, one straight) I can't make bind at all. Nothing in my own
tests would eliminate this bag on the basis of zippers. If I have any
complaint it's that it holds more than I need it to and is, therefore
larger than needed. YMMV
