But basically he was HOPING that equipment worn in gorrilla/other forms would meld into his human form but would be available again if he assumed the same form. Am I correct in assuming that it doesnt (or at least, probably shouldnt) work this way?

I believe that the character in question has no intention of wearing barding in human form effectively, he is hoping that when he gets wild shape 2/day he cam simply change back into an animal, and not have to go through having his friends put them back o, even if he is only human for 1-3 turns a day.

also, due to the tone of this particular game, the ape druid in question also carries around a (very large rock-shaped) piece of chalk and a "chalckboard" piece of wood, which he uses to "speak" while in wildshape. so I dont think the DM would mind the character wearing oversized gorrilla pants while he is human,as he wants to wear a hide loincloth as it is.

thanks for the feedback though. it helped alot.

The question came up when a druid in the party realized how ridiculously low his AC was when wild-shaping if he didnt have insanely high dex (14 at level 4 assuming a +2 dex, regardless of animal shape, As beast shape 1) so he tried to buy wild armor, Wild armor, being equivalent to a +3 bonus, requires +4 armor, which is impossible at 4th level unless your DM really likes to give you a lot of level inappropriate magic items. so he asked if he could wear barding, just like he has for his animal companion for himself? assuming that he spends the time to put it on, or has people to put it on, he would (works on any form, but with a human intelligence guiding a gorilla it is feasable that he could do it himself) I guess the real questions are:

Can a druid wear barding in wild shaped form?
Can he wear it himself or does it require help?
What happens to it when he shifts back?
what if is animal shape is vaguely human shaped?
wouldnt wearing a set of barding AND having a set of regular armor on as a human basically negate the need for wild armor?
isnt a +3 ridiculously high for wild armor?

(I apologize for the grammar, I cant find the apostrophe on my Japanese keyboard)

I have read countless rules and discussions about what happens to magical and mundane armor when you wild shape or beast shape into an animal, what melds, what is kept, what is lost, etc. But I cannot find a single post or question relating to something related.

If a druid wildshapes, and then has barding (made for his/her animal shape) put on her, (either by her companions or by assuming a shape with thumbs such as a gorrilla) what happens to the barding when when she resumes humanoid(or other) form? does it meld into her human form? does it drop onto the ground? is she trapped in larger or smaller barding? what about magic items that can be worn as an animal? can you wear a bracer of armor as a gorrilla or velociraptor? your animal companion could, but what happens to that gear when you turn back to human form?

since wild shape lasts for so long, asuming the character doesnt mind not speaking, the time required to put on barding is a non-issue.
