There are basically three ways it can protect. First is to prevent contact with the skin. This would mean it is liquid and gas impervious. Basically a sauna suit that will quickly become uncomfortable to wear on a daily basis. Even it it were somehow one-way and let water vapor out but nothing back in, it would be uncomfortable. The second way is to safely absorb the toxins. Activated charcoal or even a custom carbon nanotubes system would do the job. But at some point this will get saturated and have to be disposed of. The third way is for the suit to actively neutralize the toxins, either by chemical means or having powered graphene channels that reduce the compounds down. This again will require periodic replacement or a connected power source.

If you really want the project coveralls to do it all, I suppose we can rationalize a suit with nanotubes to capture and contain the toxins and graphene circuits that can safely clear the nanotubes when you have time to do maintenance on your gear. Just remember that this does mean that some units of the KFS military will have the same capabilities, since they will have some captured suits.

The Project needs NBC protection but there is no reason for them to ALWAYS wear it. Remember that their goal is to rebuild civilization roughly 5 years post war. At that point civilization (such as it is) will already have abandoned contaminated areas or died where they stood. Project members need to escape the contamination of their bolthole and find the safe zones with the people. Exposure after that point will be temporary, brief forays into contaminated regions to extract people and resources.

So just give them MOPP suits or the like. Resistweave is already straining credibility, no need to make them walk around in a full body suit and all it entails.
