Theoretical concept art of Bill Skarsgård’s PHYSINT character.

Turtleneck Mask Functionality

The notion that all of his civilian raiment has an ancillary espionage function. His turtleneck is primarily designed to obscure his Stealth Suit and provide added neck protection via blade-resistant cloth, with the ancillary functionality of quickly concealing  his face. 

It could be pulled up to fully cover his face if he has the means to see through it. Like via personal “droid” could provide a third-person POV, displayed on the inside of the turtleneck or perhaps directly in their mind’s eye via a Kojima-fied “Neuralink.” or Temporoparietal junction stimulation inducing customized out-of-body experiences via technology or “psychic” phenomena.

This is also mentioned in this POST but with context of Bill poncho.

Respirator

Smart textile multilayer nanofiber/electrostatic membrane this is for high-efficiency filtration and breathable air intake.  

 The lip and neck of the turtleneck have a shape-memory elastomer that creates a seal for a smart respirator. The filter covers the full garment surface, adding redundancy and allowing rapid air intake. An internal oxygen supply can also be connected to any point on the garment's surface through integrated connection ports.  

Bill's stealth suit could have a small, thin smart air supply that can refill itself when not in use. The cloth is hydrophobic and waterproof, closing its pores so that water cannot pass through it while still allowing air and vapor to move through the filtration system.  

 Bill can breathe normally through the suit's filtration membrane, and the external air supply provides additional breathable air when needed. If the small air supply is not enough, he can use an adapter to connect to a larger external air supply.

 A sensor could also automatically detect when the external air supply is connected and regulate the airflow, pressure, and filtration between the garment and the connected supply.

Ninja Reed snorkel a thin, long tube with a buoy could be connected to the turtleneck to provide air directly to the mouth.

Gameplay

This would allow Bill to use the turtleneck and move through gas and other air contaminants, which prevents staggering, coughing, and any possible side effects.

Swimming and hiding in water if all of Bill's gear is made from a hydrophobic smart textile, then moving in and out of water could be done without leaving a wet trail that could affect movement or create extra noise.

This could be an upgrade so the player can experience the difference. This could also be a function that could be turned on and off.

So you could use the "wet suit" as a gameplay element, creating paths for targets to be led down into ambushes and traps.
