After a year the jacket's heat light flickers and it doesn't heat.
“the heat light just flickers and doesn’t heat up”
Reviewers often praise fast dispatch and strong heating. Many say it warms up quickly and the battery lasts a full day. Some report major problems: heating stopped after longer use, orders were cancelled, and warranty or refund terms were limited. Low-star reviews focus on poor communication and weak after-sales support.
Examples from available reviews (Dec 2021 – Mar 2026).

Many reviews mention quick shipping and helpful staff. Several customers name specific team members and describe fast fulfilment. A few point to late deliveries or unhelpful follow-up in particular cases.
Most reviewers call it good value and worth buying for warmth. Some bought more than one for family members. A small number of complaints about partial refunds affect how fair it feels for those customers.
Customers say the jacket heats up fast and keeps them warm outdoors. Several mention a comfortable fit, although one reviewer says it runs snug. The battery often gets praised for lasting all day.
Many reviews praise solid build quality and steady heating. A minority report failures after longer use, including a flickering heat light and heating that stopped. Battery life and styling also get frequent positive mentions.
Several 1-star reviews describe cancelled orders, unreachable support, and tight refund terms. One review says the company cited closure and removed a stated 12-month warranty. Some people report helpful service, but the repeated communication problems still stand out.
Most ratings lean strongly positive on performance and delivery. The low scores tend to come from after-sales problems such as cancellations, warranty removal, and restrictive refunds. This leaves a clear split between customers who praise the product and those who describe serious service failures.

While 8K Flexwarm has quality heated jackets, I was so disappointed with their shipping. I placed my order on November 13th and didn't receive it until December 3rd. I would have been better off ordering from a different company. The customer sales reps were so unresponsive and the only thing they would say is that my order was being processed. I even reached out to them on social media and still didn't receive a response.
Despite the terrible shipping, the 8K Pro heated jacket itself is well made and definitely keeps you warm. The heating elements are evenly dispersed throughout the jacket and it's very comfortable to wear. It's also lightweight. Overall, I'm happy with the product itself, but I hope 8K will improve on their order shipping and customer service.
