What do you guys think is best to help keep fletchings dry besides staying indoors?

I use no snow from three rivers. it works up to a point, in a driving rain nothing is 100% the one on the bow gets wet the rest i keep covered. I shot a deer last season in just such a rain, so i would say it worked good enough because my arrow flew nice and made a good hit.

I use Bohning Dri-tite. Paints on like nail polish, and doesn't stink when dry. Works pretty good in light rain, but like Stone Knife says in driving rain nothing to my knowledge works.

I had Jeff from Gray Wolf Wollens make a fletch cover for the arrows in my quiver. Keeps 'em dry, plus camos them as well. I also use the powder feather dry stuff which works fairly well until they get really wet. If I have one on the bow that starts getting too wet I just switch it for a drier one from the quiver. Luckily for me, it doesn't happen all that often here.

Have you tried goose feathers? Last fall I hunted in 30 mph winds driving the rain sideways. No problems.
