I think the Skiritai wore the felt version of the Pilos as opposed to the metal one of their Lakedaimonian comrades. They were in a sense 'light' hoplites fighting somewhat akin to hamippoi on occasion, but at other times more like standard hoplites. They also operated as scouts and seemed to be a very flexible unit.
