I'm right here. No need to search for me!
High Sierra for Backpacks ?
Merrell for shoes ?
The North Face for sleeping bags ?
What the hell is that ? As least, Trek, Patagonia and BD is there but those are really curious choice.
Remember, the voting was not based solely on "Quality". It was more about "Overall Value for the Money". So, quality, longevity, affordability, and features were all considered.
I think given the criteria this is a pretty good selection of manufacturers.
