I agree -- very different shorts. The first place you notice is in the weight. In size M, Overhangs are 13.1oz, Thrives are 5.5 oz. Much thinner fabric on the Thrives... Thrives are narrower cut in the legs, go down a little longer, and have only the two front pockets, which is their biggest downfall. Having just one more pocket somewhere -- either in back or as a cargo pocket -- would make these the perfect shorts. As it is, especially with the clingy cut, it looks weird trying to shove cell phone, wallet, keys into just two pockets when you're out on the town. Overhangs are better for casual/daily wear or for activities -- like climbing or scrambling -- where you're going to be really rough on your shorts. Thrives are better for hiking, active sports and hot weather conditions. Both have a place in your closet.

very different shorts! lighter weight material, welded construction, only the two front pockets, and cinch instead of belt buckles. different cut as well.
