Have these been used for coastal protection where 6 foot waves or similar may occur during hurricanes? What are their major advantages/disadvantages over seawalls. Any examples/information greatly appreciated.

I have seen fabric formed revetments used for 2.5 ft. waver heights. These have provided 15-20 years of protection. A lesser wav e height will offer a longer design life.
A better option may be an Articulating Concrete Revetment (Petraflex, Armorflex). These products are far more flexible and will thus provide longer design lives at a similar cost.
