Yes, this is a half joke, but if the idea is popular, I guess that's a good thing. These pants would be worn like normal pants, but not provide any protection. When you are on fire, or in lava, however, these would absorb ALL damage from the lava/fire, and take it directly to the armour durability. These, to prevent being overpowered, would only last maybe a minute in lava, and five minutes on fire.
