Well there is the wild armor +3 it lets you wear armor wile in wild shape. You could use that (with some minor modifications). By common sense it would work.

A lycanthrope would be a good candidate for Bracers of Armor. A Ring of Protection would help in both forms, too. An Animated Shield would be great -- in animal or hybrid form, the lycanthrope would still be able to use all of its natural weapons.

IMO wild armor shouldnt work for the lycanthrope. It is just to make the armor work while absorbed, and equipment never gets absorbed with lycanthrope alternate forms. A better case could be made for it to work with alter-self/polymorph ... if it doesnt work for those, it certainly shouldnt work for lycanthropes.

The potential of ruining armor during the change is an integral part of the lycanthrope. You could make a case for wilding clasps working for lycanthropes though (Sean Reynolds agrees).

Lycanthropes should either rely on AC from bracers of armor and DEX/NA/WIS (with a monk's belt) or just stay in alternate form most of the time and have appropriate armor for that.

Or should buy a EVERSTRECHING armor (enchantement +3).

You can work out the details.

There is armor in Complete Arcane I believe that is made for lycanthrops?
