Couple of quick questions.
Druid wearing normal armor, +1 cloak of resistance, and say Barkskin spell in effect.
Wildshapes into another form.
1) where does the druids normal stuff go they were wearing.... drop to floor or magically vanish to be on them when they wildshape back?
2) Will the +1 cloak be in effect?
3) Will the Barkskin spell be in effect?
thanks for any guidance.

The polymorph section of the core tells us that gear melds with the wearer. It also tells us that constant items stay active but activated items do not (so boots of speed stay active but a necklace of fireballs does not). Finally, there's no reason spells would cease to be active on you because you've changed forms.
So... melds with their body, yes, yes.

I would add that magic bonus listed as Enchantment, on armor. Will also not function with wildshape, unless the armor has Wild feature. See page 464 PF phb.
All thought the fact that Wild, it cost +3 bonus feature I think is overkill, should have been +2, but oh well too late now.

Also, Bracer of Armor are based off the wizard spell "Mage Armor" will not work, as this is an armor bonus. ..... At least that is how other have talked on other threads.... I still can not figure out how Mage armor the spell works tho... (does it depend on if you cast it before or after the wildshape). Oh well will let other people argue that out.
........
Amulet of Natural Armor and Ring of Protection i know work while wildshaped. Although you might like to get them crafted for other body areas ... like a Bracer of Protect or belt of natural armor.

Small note, if I remember correctly boots of speed do not have any continuous functions, only activated functions, and therefore would be unuseable while wildshaped. Spells continue to function on you, but magic items may not, mage armor vs bracers of armor is a great example (phone really wanted to change bracers to beavers... awkward!)
