Is a turban (mitznefer) obligated in tzitzit, even if it covers the head and majority of the body?

Synopsis

A turban is exempt from tzitzit even if it covers the head and most of the body, because its primary purpose is to cover the head, and the Torah specifically requires tzitzit on 'your garment' (kesutcha), not on head coverings.
