Question

1. What is the daily requirement for wearing tzitus/talis/talis katan? Are we required to wear a talis katan from morning untill bedtime? Does making a brucha and davening with a talis in the morning fulfill the obligation of tzitus? 2. Is an undergarment required between your body and the talis katan? 3. Are there any issues with wearing tzitzis when you know they will getting dirty (ex: manual work or exercise on a hot day)? Thanks.

1) You should ideally have on Tzitzit all day, till nightfall. If you get hot or sweaty, take off your shirt & Tzitzit for a bit to cool off, and then put them back on. 2) No 3) Not usually in today's day & age. Don't take it into a swimming pool. AA
