The Aetolians were sort of "late comers" in the military affaira of Greece.

Their cavalry initially would be light and modeled on the Thessalian light cavary-pilos, clamys, javelins.
In the Hellenistic period they would have armor linen or metalic : Beotian, Attic or Thacian helmet and since "tarantines" were the fashionalbe cavalry they would sport a round shield.
Swords would be long bladed NOT kopis!

Kind regards
