The suggested retail on the Thrive HD is $249.99 and it is shipping now. Zero Tech wanted this optic to be robust, so they made it shock proof, waterproof, and fog proof. Once we get our hands on one, we will see if it really holds up to those claims, but I’m guessing it won’t have any problem. During our reviews, we soak them, cook them in the oven, freeze them, and throw them around.
