Building with it

Golden leggings give three armour points and 105 uses. Their practical role in most worlds is piglin diplomacy: any single piece of gold armour worn keeps piglins calm in the Nether, and leggings are as good for that as a helmet.

In practice

Golden leggings survive 105 uses, which is thin, but they are one of the four pieces that keep piglins calm. Since only one piece needs to be worn for that, the practical setup is a spare pair of gold leggings in an ender chest near the portal. Golden leggings cost seven ingots and survive 105 uses, which is why almost nobody fights in them. Their role is the same as every other gold piece: one worn item keeps piglins calm, and legs are as good for that as a helmet or boots.
