Although I have been satisfied with GoWesty's products and services that I
have purchased I cannot recommend their cargo net:

http://www.gowesty.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=CNW-2004&Category_Code=

The rubber does look like it is made from old inner tubes, it also looks like
it will quickly rot in the sun if kept outdoors for long.

Also, one of the rubber "rings" broke about one month after purchase (I did
not abuse it) requiring a repair.

In GoWesty's favor I did not try to return the product - they may have
replaced it no questions asked.

Lastly, the hooks are a little big for my Westy's tie-downs, it's a really
tight fit.

The thing is also expensive compared to other cargo nets.

Pretty much a thumbs down.

(BTW - my wife and I were in Morro Bay last Saturday, we saw four different
Vanagons in about a five minute time span, each one wearing a bra - they must
have all been girl vans.)
