ALICE packs range from free to obscene depending on where you get them and whether or not the seller is trying to pass it off as a "collector's item."
Having carried one for many years in the military, I personally would never want one. They're large, durable, easy to fix, and inconspicuous, but also heavy and uncomfortable.
I would recommend a good quality civilian mountaineering pack. I have used and thoroughly liked packs made by Gregory, Kelty, EMS, and Mountainsmith. I think something in the 3500-5000 cubic inch range is good for urban outdoorsmanship. If you're going to spend the money on one of these packs, go to a quality outfitter and get properly fitted for it. Most of them will also let you try the pack out for a while and exchange it if it's not comfortable.
