Gopchitsit
Hello Rabbi,
Regarding the tzitzit of a tank top (called a goptzitzit), the website writes that it has an opening on the sides that extends most of the way up to the shoulder. Do you think such a tzitzit is required by Douay to be a tzitzit? And in general, is there a preference for a regular tzitzit or is a goptzitzit also okay?

Regarding the size of the tzitzit (the possible sizes are S/M/L, etc.), the Rambam writes:
“A cloak with which a person is required to make tzitzit from the Torah is a cloak that has four or more wings on four sides and is of such a size that it covers the head and torso of a child who is walking alone in the market and does not need anyone else to guard him and walk with him”
Is there a problem with taking a tzitzit in size S or M because it is below the size required by the Torah? Or maybe you just need to make sure it is a cubit in front?
I didn't understand the question. Don't these measures pass the halakhic lesson?

Apparently they don't have a cubit in front, but if we go by three-quarters of a cubit, there might be.
The Rambam has a different method in this matter and it is doubtful whether he even has a small tallit, so he is not the appropriate source for this matter.
