I have used the CEP one and couldn't tell a difference IMO. I do use compression garments for other things with great results. The swift wicks are not as thick as say my smartwools but the sock are more dense if that makes any sense. I used the swift wick pursuit 12 on the fishing boat and couldn't be happier.
