I think they are the Voyager model:

The Joe Rocket's I got because there were the only choice at the dealer
that day are the Radiant glove:

No real complaints, they did keep me warm and dry so far, except for the
strange angle of the visor wiper on the index fingers.  They appear to
have moved it to the thumb for the Radiant 2.0 glove.  (Anyone wanna buy
an almost new pair of Radiants?)

Check FG sizing guide at:

Most all sizing for gloves I've seen have you measure around the widest
point of your hand which is usually about half an inch down from where 
your fingers join, or around your knuckles.  Unfortunately for me, if I
get that size right, I usually have a little to much finger left in the
glove (glove fingers too long).  So if I find a pair that do fit, I just
buy 'em!

Other gear note: First Gear seems to be discounting previous model Kenya
and Kilimanjaro jackets for anyone that's shopping.
