Have had mine for the last 2 years. Love it, so quick and easy to erect.
Height no issue for me, has like you I am 5' 8” myself.
One of my mates has just bought the latest one. Great shelter, he is 6' and no problems for him either.

You can make them lower and wider if you don't use the tension strap just push the boss down from the top and it widens. Then peg it.
To be honest I don't usually bother much with the tension strap - the strap helps make it a bit taller and more rigid (no sure its does a lot really as you could achieve the same through pegging and pushing it a bout a bit).
It has a couple of flappy bits at the front that you can tie back to give more of a brolly perspective or peg down to give more room/coverage if it rains.
I haven't fiddled too much but it has fitted in where ever I have need it to so far. I went from a brolly set up and this is defo better - more rigid, nearly as quick to put up (well once you've done it a couple of times) and quite a bit more room.
Material is nylon but have been through a few absolute downpours around October time and had no probs.
Really cant fault it for my usage - generally 1/2 nights and days as and when. Picked mine up for not much money as well - no hesitation in recommending for this type for fishing.

I use a trakker Brolly and a fox thing , forget what it's called , the mk2 model
I prefer the trakker overall , but use the fox thing lol
When fishing the stow as it gives me some privacy , lots of walkers and pests ,and a shelter when it rains
Only used it so far for days as it's light
Has vents and the pockets are good etc
Bit annoying as you have to use most of the pegs etc
But it serves its purpose and so far so good
