It very much depends on time or century you are talking about.In the most glorious times the Spartans used bronze armor,with helmet,breastplate,greaves,and most importantly shield.And additional armor was thigh armor,shoulder,lower arm,groin plate,foot armor...The Athenians would use the same armor types,only probably in less numbers because they,unlike Spartans,had to provide themselves with the whole panoplia/armor set.And it was expensive..So in Athens a new,light,linen and leather armor appeared around the end of 6th century BC.It was cheaper and served good enough.We don't have any proof Spartans ever used this type.

NO the fought butt naked so it gave them no advantage. all they wore was a helmet cape ,shield, sword and spear

Very wrong answer above.Going to hand to hand combat without armor is no advantage.Spartans were know in archaic and early classical times for being heavily armed men.Their armor was the most complete in all Greek cities. So yes they wore a lot of it.
