Not sure if it's 6mm but Omnipole use clear hose inside their poles and sell the stuff in 30 metre reels.  It seems reasonably soft but I'm not sure what I am comparing it with.
Better phone them to check size though as I may be wrong on that bit.

The clear stuff degrades with UV light and eventually goes brittle also hard in cold weather. Is it to go up the pole, what length do you want. I really like silicon thin wall-  is soft/stays soft but it depends on the hose pressure. Gaz's link has it,  comes slightly coloured. It can be confusing looking for new hoses, Ask or buy some samples first.

We use the omnipole 6mm clear and found no problems with it.
