Yes, it's surprising but nowadays slim pickings for budget front panniers. If you find a good value, I wouldn't worry much about water resistance. You have the waterproof rear Ortliebs, so for front I wouldn't worry about water resistance, it's easy enough to use plastic bags for items that need to stay dry. BTW last year was so rainy in my area, I kept a cheap rain jacket stowed in my Ortlieb pannier the whole summer & it got moldy, had to toss it.
