The pants are expected to retail for £35 ($58), but campaign backers can get a pair for £14 ($23).
Perkins is looking to raise £30,000 ($50,000) and has so far achieved just short of £400 ($672).
The campaign runs until 28 May and has been verified by Indiegogo as a genuine product.
Perkins said: ‘Wireless Armour is designed to protect the health of a wireless generation glued to their mobile devices.
'We are exposing ourselves to unprecedented levels of electromagnetic radiation and this is showing with our declining sperm counts and increasing cases of cancer.
‘Although the evidence is not conclusive it is piling up. Our goal is to make protection as easy as getting dressed!’
Last month, scientists found men who hold their mobiles for more than four hours a day are more likely to suffer from impotence than those who limit usage to less than two hours.
For the study, researchers recruited 20 men who had experienced problems with erectile function in the six months prior to the study.
They also studied 10 healthy men with no history of dysfunction.
The men who had previously suffered from erectile problems were found to carry their devices for a ‘significantly longer time’ than the healthy men - 4.4 hours a day compared to 1.8 hours a day.
This backed up the findings of two other, separate studies in Egypt and the U.S. from last year.
Both studies found a 'worrying link' between poor sperm and the number of hours a day a man uses his mobile phone.
However, all the researchers said more needs to be done to establish what causes the problem and the extent of damage mobiles can cause.
