I think it's just a selection of some soft shell trousers. I don't think it's really intended to be a direct comparison of near-identical offerings.
I don't know how UKC do it, but other 'class reviews' ask manufacturers to send a particular product (e.g. 'soft shell trousers') and they get whatever the manufacturers chooses to send.
Shame the review is only for 'high end' products, but I guess they're all likely advertisers. UKC has to be paid for somehow.
