Remember, this is for a sky druid, so no medium armor, just light.
I was looking at leather lamellar, which seems to be my best bet. For my other characters, it's always been mithral or no special material on armor, so I don't really know the non-metal materials. I'll have to hunt through Ultimate Equipment a little and figure it out, unless there's another source I should know about.
Edit: So looking through Ultimate Equipment, I found the darkleaf material, which makes the leather lamellar weigh half as much and have no armor check penalty. It also allows more of a dex bonus to AC, but I don't care about that for this PC.
Because I dumped strength (pure caster druid, not the wild shape and dive into the front line type), I'll still have a -3 armor check penalty and slower speed due to being medium encumbered even with this armor. But I can cast Ant Haul to triple my carrying capacity, and then I no longer have that problem. For now, it'll be scrolls of Ant Haul, but I'll probably prepare and cast it once per day as a known spell starting around level 4 or 5.

It doesn't. It just happens to do everything else that mithral does so a lot of people assume it must make the armor a lighter category as well.

It indeed doesn't, but it doesn't have to. Darkleaf hide armor has a ACP of 0, making the nonproficiency penalty irrelevant.
