Why it exists
Comparing twelve models means reading product pages written in twelve different ways. Some brands publish a pair weight; most do not. Some say where the seams run; most do not. Prices appear in euros, pounds, dollars and Canadian dollars.
There was no table that put those figures side by side and showed the gaps. This site is that table, plus the guides needed to use it: how to measure your hand, what the palm materials do, which cuff suits which rim.

How the data is handled
Every figure carries its source and date. Manufacturer pages are the default; retailer listings and third-party tests are labelled as such. Where a brand publishes nothing, the row reads no data instead of an estimate. Currency conversions use the European Central Bank reference rate for the date named on the page.
Pages are reviewed quarterly and whenever a tracked model changes.
Measurements
Published specifications settle weight, materials, seams, sizes and price. Heat build-up, grip once the palm is damp, and durability across wash cycles need instruments on a rig. That programme and its sequence are described in how we rate; results are published with raw data and the method.
Corrections and submissions
Found an error? Write to the address in the legal notice with the figure and the page. Corrections are made on the page and noted in its change log.
A manufacturer with better data? Published specifications are always preferred over estimates. Send the values and they go in with your product page as the source.
A model missing? Send the product page. A model enters the database once its manufacturer publishes enough to fill a spec sheet.
