The same great qualities as the Base Layer Long Sleeve in a short sleeve
Base Layer fabric is 50% lighter than the standard cotton TShirt. After 60 minutes of exercise the Base Layer fabric releases 80% of its moisture after 30 minutes of rest, cotton releases only 40% of its moisture after 30 minutes of rest
Made with compression garments that will hold your muscles in place longer and reduce body fatigue. Less chance for pulled and sore muscle tissue
Two different layers of fabric: Inner layer contains fibers that will wick the moisture off the skin quicker, creating a cooler inner climate. Once the moisture is separated from your skin the outer layer will evaporate the moisture evenly and fast
Fabric is spun with wicking and antibacterial treatments

The MSR Base Layer Short Sleeve is not kidding when it says it's a compression fit. The shirts run very tight. If you're not a fitness fanatic, you'll probably not want to walk around in just this shirt. Everything is still tight right now, so it hasn't been 'stretched' out as of yet. I can't comment on if the tight shirt actually improved my fatigue level and comfort while driving. I didn't really notice a difference, but I always wasn't particularly fatigued. YMMV.
However, I've found the wicking action to be very good. After riding for a few hours, the shirt was very damp, but my skin didn't feel wet. After hanging the shirt up for an hour, it was dry.
The fabric has a very good feel. Not itchy at all. Seams were not uncomfortable. I do worry about durability long term. Due to the very tight fit, it's a bit of a chore to get on/off. I worry that something will rip eventually. I have not run the shirt through the washing machine, but I wouldn't recommend trying it, due to the thin material (I believe the tag says hand wash only, now that I think of it). This shirt easily fits under any other shirt/mid-layer you want to wear.
I'd say this shirt is comparable, albeit much tighter and lighter weight, to the cheapish wicking workout shirts I have.
